On Dec 4th, 1977 the coronation of Jean-Bedel Bokassa took place.

Deciding to create this event to make him an emperor, Bokassa invited 2500 international dignitaries and spent over 25 million dollars in that time to put on the event. That equates to around one quarter of the government’s annual budget. 5 million dollars of lavish jewelry dressed the “emperor” including a pearl and crystal encrusted cape, diamond, emerald and ruby crown among other accessories. The hideous gold eagle throne perched on a blue orb was meant to symbolize marking his place on the map but instead the widespread news media this event drew resulted in countries around the world laughing at him.
