It was used during the coronation ceremonies of Polish kings, representing their divine right to rule. The crown is part of the larger collection known as the Regalia of Poland, which includes other ceremonial items like the scepter and orb. Originally crafted in the 14th century, the crown has undergone various changes and restorations over the years. It was last used in the coronation of King Stanisław II Augustus in 1764.
