Top title (5)

I believe the answer is:

crown

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'top' is the first definition.
(I know that crown is a type of top)

'title' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for crown that I've seen before include "Old five shilling piece" , "Coronet" , "'Uneasy lies the head that wears a . . . . .'" , "Coin; royal headgear" , "Headdress, coin" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Times.
