The Imperial Crown of Mexico was the crown created for the monarch of Mexico on two separate occasions. The crown of the First Mexican Empire, ruled by Agustín I of Mexico, can be seen in his many portraits, but its history is not entirely known. The second Imperial Crown of Mexico, created during the Second Mexican Empire for Emperor Maximilian I (his consort was Charlotte of Belgium, or Empress Carlota of Mexico), who reigned from 1864–67, is better documented. The original crown was destroyed during the ensuing fighting and victory of the Mexican republic, but replicas remain on display. *
