The crown is exhibited and preserved in the permanent collection of the National Museum of Colombia in Bogotá.

Upon entering the city of Cusco in 1825 Simon Bolivar was presented by Francisca Zubiaga y Bernales with a gold corolla after having defeated the Royalists in the Battle of Ayacucho.

[4] In 1889, the crown was initially placed in the vaults of the Banco Nacional, the then central bank of the United States of Colombia.

[4] On 9 April 1948, during the Bogotazo riots, the crown was safely removed by Teresa Cuervo Borda [es] wrapped in newspaper and transported via taxi away from the resulting chaos which left much of downtown Bogotá destroyed.

[4] Since June 2017, the crown has been on display at the National Museum of Colombia in a specially designed vault along with other works of jewelry belonging to the Colombian Institute of Anthropology and History.
