The 18K gold pen features a manually made engraving of the crown that was on the Queens head on the day of her coronation in 1559.

The cap is crowned by the Montblanc logo of ivory colour and the fastener comes down from the Tudor’s Rose engraved at the upper part of the cap. This image of double rose became the floral symbol of England after the King Henry VII claimed it to be the symbol of the Tudor dynasty. The green cabochon on the clip is placed at the golden cross, which embellishes the cap, and reminds the cross inlayed with gemstones decorating the crown.
