What is the meaning of the picture on the back of the georgivs v dei grar Britt omn rex fid def ind imp coin?

Answer 1

George V was king from 6 May 1910 into 20 January 1936 and appeared on most coins of the over 30 British Empire countries at that time.

For more specific information, please narrow down the possibilities a lot with a specific country name, year, the metal the coin appears to be made from, and a description of the image...

Without knowing which coin is being referred to, we will discuss the notation mentioned in your question from the front of (most) coins with George V on the obverse (front) of the coin --

The inscription is an abbreviated form of the full Latin words and/or phrases:

"Georgius V, Dei Gratias Brittania Rex,Fidei Defendorum, Indius Imperatus"

The best and most basic translation is:

"George V, by the Grace of God King of Brittania, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India"

Another breakdown:

Georgius V, -- George V, or George the Fifth

Dei Gratias -- by the Grace of God

Brittania Rex, -- King of Brittania, or King of Britain (i.e., Great Britain)

Fidei Defendorum, -- Defendor of the Faith

Indius Imperatus -- (and) Emperor of India

Please note that for many years, until India's (and Pakistan's) independence from Britain, in 1947, this inscription, or some form of it, appeared on British Realm and Commonwealth coinage. After 1947, the portion relating to India was removed. Eventually, most all of the inscription was simplified, as, for example, to the current "Elizabeth II D. G. Regina", meaning "Elizabeth II, by the Grace of God, Queen", with the part about England or Britain simply implied or understood, or simply "Elizabeth II", or "Elizabeth the Second" spelled out, with all or anything of her titles left off, simply implied or understood. The latter inscription, "Elizabeth the Second", is found on many of the coins of some British territorial Islands or Commonwealth countries.

King George V was followed on 20 January 1936 by his first son, Edward VII. But Edward abdicated on 11 December 1936, and was followed by his brother Albert, who took the kingly, or reignal, name George VI (the Sixth), after their father, reigning from the same 11 December 1936 into 6 February 1952, and appeared on the coinage of that time period. He was followed by his daughter, the current reigning Sovereign, Queen Elizabeth II (the Second), who assumed the throne on 6 February 1952, and has been appearing on British and Commonwealth coinage since the mint year 1953. By the way, Elizabeth is celebrating her 60th year as Queen in 2012. Expect this to be memorialized on much, if not all, of the Commonwealth coinage.

Hope this helps!
