Royal Crown in Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Price, Availability & Tips
The Royal Crown is one of the most expensive clothing items in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. It costs 1.2 million Bells and is a popular choice for players who enjoy royal outfits or collecting rare-looking accessories.
Before spending that much, learn where to find the Royal Crown, how it compares with the regular Crown, and whether it fits your budget.
How to Buy the Royal Crown
The Royal Crown is sold at Able Sisters for 1,200,000 Bells. Its stock changes, so you may need to check the shop on different days before finding it.
The regular Crown is another expensive headwear option, but it costs less:
- Royal Crown: 1,200,000 Bells
- Crown: 1,000,000 Bells
You can use the fitting room at Able Sisters to try on available clothing before buying. This lets you check how the crown looks with your outfit before spending your Bells.
Once you obtain the Royal Crown, you can check Nook Shopping to see whether it is available in your catalog for future orders.
How to Style the Royal Crown
The Royal Crown has a large, distinctive design that works well with formal, royal, and theatrical outfits. Pairing it with complementary clothing can make your character's look feel more complete.
For a king-inspired outfit, try combining it with the Royal Shirt and suitable trousers. You can also experiment with facial hair accessories for a more distinctive appearance.
The Royal Crown has no selectable color variations, so there is no need to collect multiple color versions.
Royal Crown Price and Sell Value
The Royal Crown costs more than the regular Crown, but its resale value is much lower than its purchase price.
| Item | Purchase Price | Sell Price | Drop-Off Box |
|---|---|---|---|
| Royal Crown | 1,200,000 Bells | 300,000 Bells | 240,000 Bells |
| Crown | 1,000,000 Bells | 250,000 Bells | 200,000 Bells |
Selling the Royal Crown directly at Nook's Cranny returns 300,000 Bells. The drop-off box pays less, giving you 240,000 Bells.
The Royal Crown is better suited to collecting and outfit styling than reselling. Selling it normally recovers only 25% of its original purchase price, so buying it for profit is not worthwhile.
Tips for Earning Bells Faster
If you want to buy the Royal Crown without using up all your savings, focus on activities that earn Bells as you play.
- Sell unused items: Clear out furniture, clothing, and other belongings you no longer need.
- Catch fish and bugs: Sell valuable catches and check whether special visitors offer better prices.
- Dive for sea creatures: Collect and sell sea creatures for additional income.
- Trade turnips carefully: Compare your purchase cost with Nook's Cranny prices before deciding when to sell.
Set a savings target of 1.2 million Bells while keeping enough money for home expansions and other island projects.
If you would rather spend less time earning Bells and more time collecting items or decorating your island, you can also explore the options on ACItemsBuy's ACNH Bells.
Is the Royal Crown Worth Buying?
The Royal Crown is worth considering if you enjoy royal-themed outfits or want to collect expensive clothing. However, its high price means it may not be the best purchase for every player.
- For collectors: It is a worthwhile target if you enjoy collecting high-value clothing.
- For outfit styling: Its distinctive design can help complete a royal look.
- For budget-conscious players: The regular Crown costs 200,000 Bells less and may be a better choice if you prefer its appearance.
The Royal Crown does not improve your character's abilities or help you progress through island development. If you are still saving for home expansions or other projects, there is no need to rush. Buy it when you can comfortably afford it.
