According to legend, Pope Sylvester II sent this crown to St. István on Christmas day, 1000 A.D. It’s a little battered and sports a bent cross on top, courtesy of having been modified, fought over, stolen, lost, found, and even stored for a time at Fort Knox in Kentucky (my home state). It stayed there “for safety” from the end of WWII through 1978, when Jimmy Carter gave it back to Hungary.
