The phrase is "Elizabeth II dei gratia Britt onm Regina fidei defensor " and it is slightly abbreviated Latin for "Elizabeth II, by the Grace of G-d, Queen of all Britain and Defender of the Faith". 1953 would be the year that this British coin was produced. The value depends on the denomination and condition.
Note also that in 1953, there were two versions of the Queen's portrait on several British (and Commonwealth) coins, one in which there are additional folds visible in the material of her gown (referred to as "Shoulder Strap") and one in which there are not (referred to as "No Shoulder Strap").
