In 1925 the Polish Government bought the silver regalia of King Augustus III and Queen Maria Josepha in Vienna for $35,000 (175 000 zł). It consisted of 2 crowns, 2 sceptres and 2 orbs made in about 1733. The original Crown Regalia were hidden - see War of the Polish Succession.[1] The jewels were exhibited in Warsaw till 1939. In 1940 German forces stole them.[1] Later they were found by Soviet troops in Germany and sent to the USSR, where they stayed until 1960, when they were returned to Poland.[1] Today are deposited in the National Museum in Warsaw.[2]
