Best Answer

You're going to have to be a lot more specific. Elizabeth is queen not just of England but of all the countries in the British Commonwealth. In addition her image has been on coins since 1953, AND each one of those countries issues lots of different types of coins.

Please post a new question with

> the name of the country (if no name, it's England)

> the coin's denomination

> what year it is

You DON'T have to copy the "dei gra f.d. ..." words because they're on ALL Commonwealth coins and don't help to ID anything.

Queen Elizabeth II appears on all British Coins since 1953, and many of the coins of the 50 plus Commonwealth countries.

Queen Elizabeth II is also the nominal or titular head of state of many of the Commonwealth countries and is therefore virtually guaranteed a place on the currency of the countries concerned.

Her Majesty's place on Canadian coinage

Her Majesty the Queen is featured on the obverse side of each of the 1¢, 5¢, 10¢, 25¢, 50¢, $1 and $2 coins. The Queen is also featured on the obverse of many numismatic collections of coins released by the Royal Canadian Mint since Her Majesty's ascension to the throne.
