Card of the Day: The Royal State Mace of Charles II

As described in the post below, a mace represents the presence of the Monarch at various meetings. This is one of two maces designed for Charles II which are still part of the Crown Jewels at the Tower of London.


This mace has famously been employed in Parliament for centuries. It is depicted in the Churchman Cigarette Company’s series of cards made for the Silver Jubilee of King George V as part of the demonstration of the various and sacred parts of the British Royal regalia.
