Crowns can be found down in the Clockworks that you reach by taking the gate elevators.  While adventuring, you will find crowns on the levels, as well as crowns dropped by killing [[monsters]].  You pick up crowns by walking near them.  If there is more than one knight in your party, all the knights will receive the same number of coins. Note that coins will despawn in 120 seconds if not picked up. There are five different denominations of crowns:
