The plural of 'krone,' the currency used in Scandinavian countries like Denmark, Sweden, and Norway.
From Old Norse 'krone' meaning 'crown,' derived from Latin 'corona.' Various Scandinavian countries adopted the krone as their currency in the 19th century during a monetary union.
The Scandinavian Monetary Union of 1873 was one of history's earliest currency unions—three countries agreed their money would be interchangeable! It didn't last, but it was a model for modern things like the Euro.
