By order of the Prince Regent, Badges of those Knights Grand Cross of the Bath who were also Knights of the Garter were to be surmounted by a crown. Although the custom soon lapsed, four different Badges were produced; one for the collar chain, one for the sash, another for wear around the neck and a small version for wear from the button-hole (The History of the Order of the Bath by J.C. Risk, C.V.O. refers)
