Hmmmmmm. The thought never occurred to me. Thinking off the top of what is left of my mind, since a crown traditionally is hollow at the top, it's more like a wreath or sweat band, so it might not count as being a "hat". Also might depend on what decorates it, e.g., diamonds, emeralds, rubies, 1889-CC Morgans, Bust Dollars, St. Gaudens...

But, Knights can't become kings, can they? Was King Arthur ever a Knight? Is Prince Charles a Knight? Sir/Prince Valiant doesn't count.

Thinking on it more, I don't wanna be a King. Kings only sit around on thrones while Knights have a lot more fun and get to ride around on horses rescuing beautiful damsels in distress (who always are eternally grateful) from dragons and other nasties. Think Sir Gawain and Sir Lancelot - they always had a lot of fun and adventure and the most fun King Arthur ever had was getting Camelot burned forcing him to hide in begger's clothes and walk around playing like he was an old dumb guy.
