Crown of thorns - any other names?

I'm creating a magic item (artifact, actually) that is a crown of thorns (like Jesus wore during the crucifixion). Does that have any other name besides "crown of thorns"?

I've seen it referred to as "coronse spinse D.N.J.C. (crown of thorns of Our Lord Jesus Christ)" or "corona spineae".

The -se endings don't look right to me, but it might not be Latin - I don't know any Spanish or Italian, so it may be a term that evolved from the Latin.

I've also seen it called "Christ's Glory", but I don't think that's at all common.

"Coronse" appears to be a typo in some appraiser's Latin glossary that has been copied verbatim several places on the Web.
