In the scriptures there are five major ‘crowns’ mentioned. What are they?

The scriptures points out that there are 5 crowns mention.  Looking at David crown in 1 Chr 20, it weight a talent of gold and were precious stones in it. Will the crown we receive be of pure gold as in Psa 21?

·      The first one mention was the crown of life and was listed in Jam 1 and Rev 2 and the Greek word is Zoe and means life. 
·      The second crown is Righteousness which is listed in 2 Tm 4 and the Greek word is dikaiosune, which means justification. 
·      The third is the crown of Glory listed in 1 Pet 5 and Pro 4 and the Greek word is  doxa and means honor, praise or worship. 
·      Crown which is Incorruptible is the fourth one listed and the Greek word is  aphthartos which means immortal. 
·      The last crown is Rejoicing and the Greek word is kauchesis which means glorifying found in 1 Th 2.
