Numista and Wikipedia in English use the name in French (Monnaie de Paris), and it is also use in other text in English, but Google returns also results with the name in English (Paris Mint): https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Paris+Mint%22+-%22Monnaie+de+Paris%22

 

According guidelines I think the name in the English side should be “Paris Mint”. Even in our description in English the name in English is used.

We usually keep company names. It just happens that this one is easily translatable.
