A crown birthday, also known as a golden birthday, is when a person turns the age that corresponds to the day of their birth. For example, if someone was born on the 25th of the month and they turn 25 years old, they are celebrating their crown birthday. This occurrence is considered special and is often celebrated in a memorable way.

Well, honey, a crown birthday is when your age matches the day of the month you were born. For example, if you were born on the 15th and you turn 15, it's your crown birthday. It's like a little numerical coincidence that gives you an excuse to feel extra special for a day.
I've actually been trying to find out if the rest of the world knows what a "crown birthday is".
Traditionally, in South Africa, particularly amongst the Coloured race (or so it seems), you celebrate your Crown birthday on the day that you turn the age that corresponds with the date on which your birthday falls.
Eg- if your birthday is 27th October- when you turn 27 that will be referred to as your Crown birthday.
