The Kohinoor is a 105.6-carat diamond with a long and illustrious history. The diamond was discovered in India in the 14th century and passed through many hands over the centuries.
The diamond was given to Queen Victoria in 1849, following the British annexation of Punjab. Since then, it has been part of the British Crown Jewels, but it is still the subject of a historic ownership dispute between at least four countries, including India.
