Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
On the face side of British coinage there is portrait of the Queen and the legend:
Elizabeth II D. G. REG. F.D.
This is an abbreviation of the Latin DEI GRATIA REGINA FIDEI DEFENSOR
which means "By the grace of God, Queen and Defender of the Faith"
Queen Elizabeth II is the reigning monarch of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. She has reigned since 1952 when her father King George VI died. She was formerly Princess Elizabeth Alexandra Mary.
In addition to the United Kingdom, Elizabeth II is also Queen of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Jamaica, Barbados, the Bahamas, Grenada, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Antigua and Barbuda, Belize, and Saint Kitts and Nevis. She has 4 children and to date 8 grandchildren and five great grandchildren, with her husband Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.

Regina means Queen. Dei Gratia Regina- By the Grace of God, Queen. These are Latin inscriptions. There was also FD meaning Fidei Defensor- defender of the faith, a title originally awarded to Henry VIII before he sought royal improvements on the marriage and divorce laws. This phrase, usually abbreviated, is also still found on British Coiins. British monarchs still bear this Papal title, despite being Anglican (or Episopal).
The coin is worth very little, maybe £1 if it was in absolute mint condition. Any value would be associated with the necklace.
E II R stands for E=Elizabeth; II = second; R= Regina. Hence E II R = Elizabeth II Regina.
You need to tell us what is on the coin. There are no British coins that have the legend of Queen Elizabeth the Second, rather the British coins would be in Latin and be some variation of Elizabeth II Dei Gratia Regina. So if the legend is in English you either a) Have a coin from somewhere in the commonwealth or most likely if there is no denomination/date you have b) a medal or a token of some sort
how much is a 1956 elizabeth ii dei gratia Regina Canadian 1 cent piece worth with the letters k6 on the back
A 1962 Canadian silver dollar with the image of Elizabeth and text of ELIZABETH II DEI GRATIA REGINA is worth $11.42 today. This is because of the value of the metals used to make the silver dollar.
"Elizabeth II, By the Grace of God Queen (and) Defender of the Faith" is anEnglish equivalent of "Regina II Dei Gratia Regina Fidei Difensor."Specifically, the masculine noun "dei" means "of God." The feminine noun "gratia" means "(by the) grace." The feminine noun "regina" means "queen." The feminine noun "fidei" means "of the faith." The masculine noun "difensor" means "defender."On coins, the last two words may appear as "f.d."
DEI is Latin for God. It will appear on many British coins and coins of many of the British Empire/Commonwealth countries. The full, unabbreviated legend for a 1958 (Elizabeth II) coin would read "ELIZABETH II DEI GRATIA BRITANNIA OMN REGINA FIDEI DEFENSOR" meaning - "Elizabeth II by the Grace of God, Queen of all the Britains, Defender of the Faith". Depending on the coin and country, it would often be shown very heavily abbreviated as "ELIZABETH II DEI GRA BRITT OMN REGINA F D", or even "ELIZABETH II DEI GRATIA REGINA" with "FID DEF" on the reverse.
Check your coin.There were no Two Pound coins issued in 1945 and, Queen Elizabeth II was not crowned until 1953.

All current coins of the British Commonwealth carry a Latin inscription whose full form is "ELIZABETH II DEI GRATIA REGINA FIDEI DEFENSOR", meaning "Elizabeth II, by the grace of God, Queen and Defender of the Faith".
That's Elizabeth II, not Elizabeth the EleventhAssuming it's from Canada, your coin is mostly silver and might sell for $5 or $6.
Regina is Latin for Queen. Depending on the year of your coin, it could be either Queen Victoria (1837 to 1901) or Queen Elizabeth II (1953 to present). DG or DEI GRA is abbreviated Latin for Dei Gratia - meaning, by the Grace of God.

That's either a forgery or an error. Elizabeth II is the current Queen of England. No coin dated 1900 would have her name on it, as she hadn't even been born then, let alone become queen.
