There are two Imperial Crowns. The Imperial Crown of India and the Imperial State crown. The Imperial Crown Of India was made for King George V's Delhi Durbar (proclomation as emperor of India). It was worn only there and has never been used since. King George wore it at the Delhi event during the celebrations in 1911. The Imperial state Crown, however, is still used by Her Majesty today. It was made in 1937 for the queen's father, George VI. The Imperial State Crown is worn by the queen for the opening of parlaiment every year.
The crown on the Queensland flag represents the Imperial Crown, also known as the Tudor Crown, or the Imperial Crown. The flag is subject to alteration as the crown actually changes with the changing of the ruling Monarch. The Imperial Crown was used by Queen Victoria, Edward VII and George VI, whilst George V and Elizabeth II used the St Edward's Crown. So if, for example, Prince Charles reverted to the Imperial Crown when he ascends the throne, then the Queensland flag would change again.
The Imperial State Crown was manufactured in 1937, it is a replica of Queen Victoria's titular crown. It was made by Gerrard and Co. (then, Crown Jewellers)
The British Monarch wears the Imperial State Crown. The current Imperial State Crown was made for King George VI in 1937. The British Monarch wears it at Coronations and the annual Opening of Parlaiment. The Imperial State crown is still in use and will stay in use for years to come.
