The Queen's does not rule like a monarch, but instead works alongside Parliament. The Queen's powers include, Head of the Armed Forces, the ability to conclude treaties, appoint officers of all ranks, and appoint a Prime Minister of her own choosing.
The sentence itself is grammatically incorrect. One should say:
THE BRITISH QUEEN REIGNS BUT DOES NOT RULE.
King is to reigns and judges is to rules.
Queen Elizabeth I, Queen Mary, Queen Anne, Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth II have been on the obverse of all British coins during their respective reigns. Britannia has been on the reverse of many different British coins for hundreds of years. Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother and Princess Diana have been on the reverse of several British coins, and Queen Victoria appeared on the reverse of the 2001 Five Pound coin.

Reigns
A person who reigns is a monarch. They can be a king, a queen, an emperor, a crown prince or hold some other title.
Regina. Meaning reigns.
Prince Charles
Yes, but. Everyone knows what a King is. He is a monarch who reigns, and in some places or eras, rules as well. A Queen may be a monarch, or may be the wife of a King, in which case she does not reign or rule. Britain did have a Queen (Mary) during WW1, but she was not the monarch; her husband ( King George V ) was.
In the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and all commonwealth states, where Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is the current and reigning monarch, the signature of the Sovereign (HM the Queen) is generally 'ElizabethR'. The 'R' stands for 'regina', which is Latin for 'reigns'/'rules' (fem.). If Her son, HRH the Prince Charles of Wales were to ascend to the Throne upon Her Majesty's death, his signature would generally be 'CharlesR', with the 'R' standing for 'rex', which is Latin for 'reigns'/'rules' (masc.) However, the Sovereign's signature is at His or Her discretion, as with everyone.
