Actually, the Crown was alluded to as a physically persevered relic as early as the third century.
I don't believe that the Crown at Notre Dame (or any of its various fragments scattered here and there) is genuine. But there's no real evidence that it isn't genuine.

300 years after the fact is also not contemporary. And again, no part of antiquity of any religion on the globe, had any modern understanding of peer review.
There was no oversight back then. There were simply ruling classes who bought and sold mythology and marketed them to the advantage of the rulers of that time.
That crown exists because the marketers who successfully sold it, were marketing a story. Not any real event.
