What is the worth of a ring with the inscription georgivs d g br omn rex f d ind imp?

Answer 1

Most likely it is worth a small amount, depending on the metal it is made of. It is probably formed from a British coin. You may have missed a "V" between "Georgivs" and "D". My brief research leads me to think it refers to the fifth king George, though I may be mistaken. You will find a similar inscription on a half-sovreign minted in Sydney during king George V's reign in Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_V_of_the_United_Kingdom: GEORGIVS V D.G.BRITT:OMN:REX:F.D. IND:IMP: This is an abbreviated Latin inscription. (In Latin a U is often printed or written as a V, as you see in Georgius. In early Latin U was not a distinct letter from V, just as J was not a distinct letter from I.) The full Latin inscription, with the U modernized, is: Georgius V Dei Gratia Brittaniae Omniae Rex, Fidei Defensor, Indiae Imperator This translates to: George the Fifth, by the Grace of God King of All Brittain, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India I have seen coins made from US silver quarters so as to retain some of the original patterns, but if appears that the ring was not made in this way, but originally as a ring, then it might be worth considerably more, in which case you may wish to consult an expert. If it was originally a ring, then it may be a commemorative item issued for an event in George V's life, for example his coronation.

Answer 2

It's impossible to know without seeing it. It is, however, likely made from a silver coin from Great Britain or Australia ("GEORGIVS V DEI GRA BRITT OMN REX FID DEF IND IMP", abbreviated Latin for "George the Fifth, By the Grace of God, King of All Britain, Defender of the Faith, and Emperor of India", is the wording found on British and Australian Coins issued between 1911 and 1936. Note that the purity of the silver of British Coins changed during that period - 92.5% through 1919, and 50% from 1920 onward.
