Should crown currencies be known as the crown or their local language?

I am not sure if this is an RFC but without requesting an RM, could the Swedish krona (is kronor even an alternative?) be renamed to Swedish crown and would other currencies follow suit? Idk if the local language or crown is the most common way to say the currency in English. Especially in Sweden and Czechia, I sometimes see crown being used. I have never been to any places that use the crown currency at the time of writing. I am too lazy to look for english sources using the local language or crown. I think WP:UE (use english) applies if its common to refer to it by its translated name.

This begs the question on whether currencies should be known by its translation or its local name. I am not sure if the turkish lira is ever refered to as the (turkish) pound so that can slide.

Czech: koruna
Norwegian and Danish: krone
Icelandic and Faroese: króna
Swedish: krona

Not that we really need any numbers to back this one up with, but "Swedish crown" has 1⁄250 of the google hits compared to the current title, which should give you some indication of which one predominates in English. It should stay where it is, as per the opening paragraph of WP:UE. EditorInTheRye (talk) 17:26, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I do not agree in principle, mainly because non-Swedes trying to pronounce krona normally aren't very good at it. One could certainly and plausibly wish we used crown, but this is Wikipedia, after all, and frequency of use rules everything. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 13:11, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
