The crown jewels of the Kingdom of Greece are a set of symbolic regalia (crown, sceptre, and orb) that were created for King Otto shortly after his election to the throne in 1832.
After his election to the throne of Greece in 1832, Otto ordered a crown, orb, sceptre and sword from Fossin et Fils Goldsmiths in Paris; the sword, however, was made by Jules Manceaux.
With his death, they were bequeathed to Prince Luitpold, Otto's successor and pretender to the Greek throne.
[2] Almost a century later, in December 1959, Albrecht, Duke of Bavaria, head of the House of Wittelsbach and descendant of Prince Luitpold, sent his son Maximilian-Emmanuel to Athens in order to formally recognize the rights to the throne of the House of Oldenburg.
The Prince then handed over all the regalia that Otto had taken with him into exile to King Pavlos of the Hellenes.
