crown
Monarch's ceremonial headgear
A crown is the top of something.
Fancy headwear for royalty is typically a crown, but you may be awarded a crown for a victory in a competition: The spelling champ was accorded the division crown.
A decayed tooth may need to be topped with a crown.
When you crown someone, you may literally place a crown on their head, symbolically elevate them to a new rank, or just award them a prize.
Something located at the top also crowns: Ancient ruins crown the hilltop.
