The Iron Coronet of [[Canaery]] is both a reliquary and one of the oldest royal insignias of Christendom. It was made in the Early Middle Ages, consisting of a circlet of gold and jewels fitted around a central silver band, which tradition holds to be made of iron beaten out of a nail of the {{wp|True Cross}}. The relic, which came into the possession of the Caens following the sack of [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]] in 434, was probably created into an earlier version of the crown in the beginning of the 6th century. The crown's history is unclear during the period of early [[Hištanšahr]] domination, but reappeared once Canaery was conquered by Conchobar the Great and incorporated into the new Levantine Empire. Used as the regalia for the Duchy of Canaery, the Coronet was probably significantly modified in the 10th century once Canaery was elevated to an Electorate. Upon Canaery's acquisition by the Urcean Crown in 1144, the Coronet became an important part of the regalia. | The Iron Coronet of [[Canaery]] is both a reliquary and one of the oldest royal insignias of Christendom.

The Iron Coronet is used during the coronation ceremony of the Apostolic King of Urcea not only for the purposes of signifying his rule over Canaery, but additionally to confer a special religious connotation given the nail from the true cross. Traditionally, the King would wear the Iron Coronet - not the Crown of St. Julius - during the meetings of the Collegial Electorate. This was done as a sign of humility in order to appear before the College as "merely" Duke-Elector of Canaery. Though the Collegial Electorate ceased to function in 1935, the Iron Coronet still holds an important role in the Apostolic King of Urcea's connection to the title of Emperor of the Levantines. In the modern coronation ceremony, the King accepts "election" as Emperor while wearing the Coronet just prior to his coronation in the Imperial regalia. | The Iron Coronet is used during the coronation ceremony of the Apostolic King of Urcea not only for the purposes of signifying his rule over Canaery, but additionally to confer a special religious connotation given the nail from the true cross.

The Coronet remains a powerful symbol of Canaery and appears in its flag. | ||
