three kings and a coroner: crowner can mean coroner

three kings and a crown: the four masters, with the difference between the first three synoptic gospellers and the fourth one which lags behind them which is frequently observed within allusions in Finnegans Wake.

crown: a monetary unit equivalent to 5 shillings.
