The Golden Crown series is Roblox's oldest crown recolor line: a spiked crown mesh that first shipped in July 2007 as a knockout-contest prize, then got remade as a gold catalog hat, a building-contest award, a 2010 catalog release, a 2013 return, and finally a mass free giveaway a decade later. Two of the family's four tradeable Limiteds, the Wanwood Crown and the Crown of Om Nom Nom, currently sell for far more than their RAP suggests, which makes this one of the clearer stale-RAP stories among Roblox's older Limiteds.
Where Did the Golden Crown Series Start?
The line traces back to the Black Iron Crown of Pwnage, published July 30, 2007, by Roblox's then-creative director, Shedletsky. Community-documented lore on the item holds that it was first awarded to a player known as PokerGod for reaching 10,000 knockouts in an early combat game, which would make it one of Roblox's earliest achievement-based prize items rather than a straight catalog sale. It's been off the market for so long that RBX Invest has no live pricing data on it; it doesn't show up as a tradeable item in our system at all today.
Three days later, on August 2, 2007, Roblox published a gold retexture of that same crown as the Golden Crown, selling for 5,000 Tickets. It's the second hat in the family and the one that would go on to have the strangest sale history of the bunch.
Golden Crown's Decade of Coming and Going
Golden Crown had been on sale for Tickets since 2007, and Roblox pulled it off the market on March 26, 2016, during the same currency wind-down that produced Tixapalooza's farewell items. That looked like the end of it. Then, on May 28, 2016, over Memorial Day weekend, Roblox brought it back for a three-day window at 500 Robux, and 37,806 more copies sold before it disappeared again. It sat off-sale for another year and a half until Roblox flipped it to a tradeable Limited during Black Friday 2017, the same offsale-to-Limited mechanic that has resurfaced across dozens of older Roblox catalog items since.
That history is why the live supply figure, 38,188 copies, roughly lines up with the Memorial Day sale total plus whatever sold in the original Tickets era. It also explains why Golden Crown, despite being the oldest design in the family, trades closer to a common classic hat than a grail: it had multiple points of entry across nearly a decade before it ever became scarce.
The Wanwood Crown: A Building Contest Grail
The Wanwood Crown published April 16, 2009, as the top prize for the ten most-visited places in Roblox's Worlds of Wood Building Contest. It's a forest-green retexture, and its in-game description, "Spring and fall," is a direct nod to the Gerard Manley Hopkins poem the Wanwood name comes from. It went tradeable on November 9, 2009, and its supply has sat at exactly 10 copies ever since.
Ten copies against a live RAP of 2,442,902 already reads as a grail, but the more telling number is how far its trader consensus value sits above that RAP. With a sale this thin, whatever last changed hands can leave the smoothed average sitting well behind what someone would actually have to pay today, and that's exactly the pattern here. Its listed lowest ask currently sits north of six billion Robux, a figure that says more about how unwilling the ten holders are to sell than what a real trade would clear at.
Crown of Om Nom Nom: The Family's Quiet Grail
Crown of Om Nom Nom arrived January 22, 2010, for 2,000 Robux, with an in-game description that's just "Nom nom nom." It's a bloodied, chomped-looking recolor, distinct enough from the rest of the family that some collectors treat it as its own thing rather than a straight Wanwood-style retexture. Supply sits at 85 copies today, and its live RAP, 72,727, actually lands below Xanwood Crown's.
That's misleading, though. Trader consensus currently ranks Crown of Om Nom Nom well above Xanwood in real value, on par with pieces most collectors would call a genuine grail rather than a mid-tier classic. Like Wanwood, its listed lowest ask is an extreme outlier figure in the billions, not a realistic transacting price, which is a good reminder that a single listed ask on an 85-copy item tells you almost nothing on its own.
Xanwood Crown: A 2013 Return to the Same Mesh
Xanwood Crown published December 24, 2013, for 5,000 Robux against a stock of 250, making it the most expensive original release in the family by a wide margin. It's also a crossover piece: Xanwood is its own separate material line that Roblox used across several accessories starting in 2013, and this crown is the point where that line and the older Golden Crown recolor family intersect.
At a live RAP of 101,240 and 251 copies in circulation, Xanwood is the most liquid of the family's genuine grails, with a lowest resale ask, roughly 199,999, that sits in a believable range relative to its RAP rather than the outlier asks on Wanwood and Om Nom Nom. For a trader who wants exposure to this family without chasing a ten-copy item, it's the more realistic entry point.
Nerf Dart Crown: The Free Outlier
Nerf Dart Crown closed out the family on September 7, 2017, as a free item tied to a Nerf-branded in-game promotion. It was claimed roughly 420,000 times before Roblox took it offsale, and unlike the rest of the family it was never a capped-stock Limited, so RBX Invest carries no RAP or resale data on it today. It's worth knowing about for the history, not for the market: a family that includes a ten-copy 2009 grail and a 420,000-claim 2017 giveaway under the same mesh is an unusually wide range for one recolor line.
The Golden Crown Family, Ranked by Trader Consensus
The table below orders the family's four live Limiteds by trader consensus street value rather than raw RAP, since Crown of Om Nom Nom's thin market puts it well ahead of Xanwood in real trading value despite carrying a lower RAP.
| Hat | Released | Original Price | Live RAP | Copies |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Wanwood Crown | Nov. 9, 2009 (Limited) | Contest prize | 2,442,902 | 10 |
| Crown of Om Nom Nom | Jan. 22, 2010 | 2,000 R$ | 72,727 | 85 |
| Xanwood Crown | Dec. 24, 2013 | 5,000 R$ | 101,240 | 251 |
| Golden Crown | Aug. 2, 2007 (Limited 2017) | 5,000 Tickets, later 500 R$ | 10,624 | 38,188 |
Why Does Om Nom Nom Outrank Xanwood Despite a Lower RAP?
RAP is a smoothed average of a Limited's actual sale history, and it only tracks real value closely when an item trades often enough to keep refreshing. Xanwood Crown, with 251 copies, trades more often than an 85-copy piece like Om Nom Nom, so its RAP has had more chances to stay current. Om Nom Nom's RAP is likely anchored to older, lower sales that happened before demand for the piece caught up to its scarcity. None of this means RAP is wrong on either item; it means RAP tells you what already sold, not necessarily what it would cost to buy one today, and that gap widens as the copy count shrinks.
What Drives the Premium in This Family?
A few things stack together. First, the two genuine grails, Wanwood and Om Nom Nom, both came from one-time events, a building contest and a straight catalog sale that was never repeated, so neither supply can grow. Second, the family spans an unusually long stretch of Roblox history: a 2007 combat-game prize, a 2009 contest award, a 2010 catalog sale, a 2013 crossover release, and a 2017 free giveaway, which makes it a useful timeline of how differently Roblox has distributed items over nearly two decades. Third, copy count alone doesn't set price: Golden Crown has by far the largest supply in the family and sits at the bottom of the value table, while Wanwood's ten copies anchor the top by a wide margin.
A Collector's Outlook
Wanwood Crown and Crown of Om Nom Nom are the pieces worth watching if you're chasing this family seriously, and both come with real liquidity risk given how rarely either one actually changes hands. Xanwood Crown is the more sensible entry point for a trader who wants the family's story without hunting a sub-100-copy item, since its ask sits close enough to its RAP that the pricing is at least legible. Golden Crown, with 38,000-plus copies, is closer to a cheap piece of history than an investment. This isn't financial advice, and thin markets like Wanwood's and Om Nom Nom's can move sharply on a single sale in either direction.
Traders tracking this family alongside others can pull live numbers on the items leaderboard, watch for underpriced listings on the deal feed, and manage active asks through the Reseller Terminal.
FAQ
How many items are in the Golden Crown series?
Six, counting both tradeable and non-tradeable pieces: Black Iron Crown of Pwnage (2007), Golden Crown (2007), The Wanwood Crown (2009), Crown of Om Nom Nom (2010), Xanwood Crown (2013), and Nerf Dart Crown (2017). Only the middle four are live tradeable Limiteds today.
Is the Black Iron Crown of Pwnage still tradeable?
RBX Invest has no record of it trading today; it doesn't appear as a live item in our system. Community-documented history ties its original distribution to an early combat-game achievement rather than a catalog sale, which likely explains why so few, if any, copies ever entered general circulation.
Why is Crown of Om Nom Nom worth more than its RAP suggests?
It only has 85 copies, and RAP is a smoothed average of past sales rather than a live quote. With so few copies changing hands, Om Nom Nom's average can lag well behind what a buyer would actually need to offer today, and trader consensus currently places it well above Xanwood Crown despite Xanwood's higher raw RAP.
Is the Golden Crown related to the Domino Crown series?
No. They're separate Roblox catalog lines built on different meshes; Domino Crown is its own family with its own recolor history. Both happen to be crown-shaped Limiteds from Roblox's early catalog era, which is why traders sometimes group them mentally, but Roblox never released them as one series.
Can I still get the Nerf Dart Crown?
No. It was a free item tied to a 2017 in-game Nerf promotion and has been offsale since. Because it was never a capped-stock Limited, it doesn't carry RAP or resale data, and copies that exist today have no meaningful secondary market.
