Coronet

The coronet is a nine- pointed crown for the title of count, a seven- pointed crown for a baron and a five-pointed crown for the non- titled nobility. Since the modern era nobility crowns are only Helmzierde of heraldry. The coronet is the lowest level of rank and crowns worn by princes and princesses.

The shape of the coronet consists of a squat with pearls and precious stones gold ring, which is provided at the top with eight prongs, of which five are visible. Of these, the middle and the outer leaves are formed in the manner, while the others wear beads. In Bavaria and Württemberg, the leaves were often replaced by beads.

In the coat of arms of the Polish nobility, the coronet was an indispensable element.
