As that is written on any coin issued by the Royal British Mint, it gives no further information allowing for a more exacting answer. Thus, it can be assumed that the coin is worth what it says, be that 2 pounds or 10 pence.
As an aside, the words mean 'By the Grace of God, Defender of the Faith, Elizabeth II'
You need to give us the denomination of the coin along with the country of origin. All you've done is tell us you have a coin minted somewhere in the Commonwealth, most likely the United Kingdom dated 1965. Your coin simply says Elizabeth II by the Grace of God, Queen and Defender of the Faith. It has nothing to do with the denomination.
....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 the denomination or the country of origin, but no 1966 British general circulation coin with the legend "Elizabeth II dei gratia regina fd" contained any silver.
I suspect you are talking about the 1965 British Crown made to commemorate the death of Sir Winston Churchill. On one side there is HM Queen Elizabeth facing right with olive branches and ribbons in her hair. Around the Queen's head there are the words, "ELIZABETH II DEI GRATIA REGINA F.D. 1965 (translation: Elizabeth II, by the grace of God, Queen and Defender of the Faith). On the other side there is Winston Churchill, facing right and looking down with the word CHURCHILL in large letters on the right side of the coin. The coin is made from a copper-nickel alloy, is 38.6 mm in diameter and weighs 28.4 grams.

1. ALL coins from the British Commonwealth since 1953 have carried a picture of Queen Elizabeth.2. ALL coins from the British Empire and Commonwealth carry a variation of that motto.3. The motto tells us who the Monarch is, nothing about the coin.Please post a new question with the coin's denomination. If there is no country shown, it's almost certainly from England, but if there is a country (Australia, Canada, etc.) you MUST include that information to identify your coin.
