Minifig Headgear / Crown

[legobanker]

Greetings all. I just had a quick question for the group. I have a few of these items:

in Chrome Silver. I have tried to research when these were made and in what sets they came. Does anyone know of their origin? Thanks for helping out.

Based on the bricklink link you provided it looks like it originated in 1995 in the royal knights series. Did you look in the "sets" link?

Yeah, I checked the sets but it appears to not be listed as a color or alternate in any of the listings.

Chrome silver is simply what happens to the old chrome gold over time. If you look at some old used coins, you'll see the same issue. It's either chemical or rubbing or a combination. So your crowns are most likely originally chrome gold but over time have faded to silver.
