Default So what about crowns?!

So what about crowns?

Not so much about their philosophical meaning which is discussed in Zonneveld but in view of hierarchy/status.

What I hear is that the use of golden crowns was limited to the ruling classes in Aceh.

Who knows more anf if possible with sources.

Eg:

What is the differenece between a double crown and a triple crown.
Is it a question a rank? Or money? Or social status?

The same with a double crown with yellow gold and suassa as in my photo.
Is it so as I read in a posting here somwhere that suassa was not seen as gold in Atjeh?
So is that a type of crown that could be used by anybody (with enough money of course...)

Many questions does anybody have ideas on this subject?
