It is fascinating how the crown is a universal symbol of authority and power, almost all cultures had coronation ceremonies despite some of them never having had contact with the rest of the world.

I think you are letting yourself get fooled by the English word “coronation”. Because while it is true that coronation ceremonies are pretty universal, they mostly didn’t involve any actual coronation or crowns, which are mostly specific to the Western world for known historical reasons.
