King Oscar II was the last king to be crowned in Sweden, that was in 1873.
Swedish kings and queens have not worn their crowns since 1907. But as I mentioned, the regalia are still present at the most important state affairs. But not worn, only displayed to mark the royal dignity and the importance of the event.
If you visit the treasury at the Royal Palace in Stockholm, you can see a display of many King's, Queen's, Heir's and Ducal crowns. The last time a royal ducal crown was used in Sweden was when the Ducal Crown of Halland was placed on Prince Bertil's coffin as he was laying in state, and also for his funeral, in 1997.
This is the present Queen's Crown, Queen Lovisa Ulrika's Crown from 1751.
