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).

Put on your thinking hat. Would a U.S. coin have a picture of the Queen of England on it??? Please determine what country your coin is from and post a new question with its date.
....You need to give us the denomination and the country of origin for the coin. All you told us is that a coin minted in 1965 with Elizabeth II's face on it (and all Dei Gratia Regina FD means is basically By the Grace of God Queen and Defender of the Faith).
You do not specify a country or a denomination. Elizabeth II appeared on the coins of many of the 50 plus Commonwealth countries. Assuming you have a British coin (without the country name on it), the coins of copper appearance were made from bronze which is mostly copper. The 12 sided Threepence was made from brass. All of the coins of silver appearance were made from a copper-nickel alloy.
No. The last year for silver in Canadian dimes and quarters was 1968.
