Following the coronation ceremony, the crown remained the centerpiece of the Crown Jewels until early 2005, when it was deemed no longer suitable as a symbol of the monarchy. It was melted down on 18 April 2005, along with two white gold rings, and sold to a gold dealer. The funds from the sale were used to fund Westarctica's first printing of [[Stamps of Westarctica|stamps]] as well as several rubies and other gems that became part of the [[Crown Jewels of Westarctica|Crown Jewels]]. | Following the coronation ceremony, the crown remained the centerpiece of the Crown Jewels until early 2005, when it was deemed no longer suitable as a symbol of the monarchy.
