Crown is a period-12 oscillator that was found by Noam Elkies on November 19, 1994. Alternatively, it may refer just to the 10-cell piece at the top of the oscillator in generation 10 (shown below in green) that is hassled by two caterers and a heavyweight emulator. The original form of this oscillator used T-nosed p4s instead of caterers. The form with caterers was found by Elkies on January 3, 1995.[1]

Generation 10 reveals a piece that by itself is sometimes referred to as the crown

One day later, Elkies used this oscillator in the following 144-cell period-24 oscillator.[1] Further applications later can be found in the pi orbital and p156 Hans Leo hassler.

Variants

By replacing the caterers with extensible p3 oscillators, an extensible crown can be made:
