The crown icon at the top of some coin images is accompanied by a bronze, silver or gold border/background and indicates that the coin is currently in more demand and usually worth more than face value. Gold coins currently sell for the most and/or are quite hard to find, silver coins are not as expensive as gold coins and bronze status coins are often just slightly more than face value.
