What does georgivs v dei gra Britt omn rex fid def ind imp mean?

"Georgius V" (don't forget, in Latin the letter V was what we now call a U) refers to George the Fifth. "Dei Gratia Britton Rex" (or similar spelling) would mean "King of Britain by the grace of God."
FID:DEF is an abbreviation of "Fidei Defensor", Latin for "Defender of the Faith", a hereditary title held by British monarchs since it was bestowed upon Henry VIII by Pope Leo X in 1521.
Similarly IND:IMP stands for "Indiae Imperator", Latin for "Emperor of India", another title held by Victoria and her successors until 1948.
What this amounts to is an abbreviated reference to all the titles of King George V, who reigned from 1910 to 1936.

∙ 13y agoThe words "GEORGIVS V DEI GRA BRITT ONM REX FID DEF IND IMP" are abbreviated Latin for "George the Fifth, By the Grace of God, King of All Britain, Defender of the Faith, and Emperor of India". It is found (sometimes with slightly different abbreviations) on all coins issued by Great Britain between 1911 and 1936, as well as (again, sometimes with slightly different abbreviations) those issued by Canada, Australia, India, and other British colonies and territories. Note that, in the case of Canada, the words "DEI GRA" (the abbreviation for "By the Grace of God") were left off of the 1911 coinage - these coins are now sometimes referred to as "God-less" coins.

∙ 14y agoIt is a heavily abbreviated Latin inscription that appears, with variations, on all coins from countries in the British Empire or British Commonwealth. A reasonable translation is:
"George V, By the Grace of God, King of all the British Territories, Defender of the Faith, and Emperor of India".
It tells us who the King is, it tells us nothing about the coin.
Of course the name of the monarch will be different for each king or queen, and the "ind imp" was removed when India became independent.

"DEI GRA BRITT OMN REX FID DEF IND IMP" means "By the Grace of God, King of all the British territories, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India".

IND IMP was part of a much larger title used by British Monarchs. It is abbreviated Latin and means Emperor (or Empress) of India.
