The Faustin I crown is the crown of Faustin Soulouque, who ruled Haiti as President of the
Republic from 1847 to 1849 and as
Emperor Faustin I of the Second Empire from 1849 to 1859.
The crown is adorned with emeralds, diamonds, garnets, and
other jewels.
It had previously been on display at the Musée du Panthéon
National Hatien (MUPANAH).
However, it was discovered that some of the jewels on the crown were stolen at an unknown time.
Because of the vandalism, the crown was moved to a safe location for protection on
January 31, 2007.
