"VICTORIA DEI GRA BRITT REGINA FID DEF IND IMP" (or variants of it) is mostly abbreviated from Latin. The literal definition is - "Victoria by the Grace of God, Queen of the British territories, Defender of the Faith, Empress of India".
This phrase and its variants, indicate the reigning monarch of the British Commonwealth, in this case, Queen Victoria (1837-1901), it tells us nothing about the coin.
All coins from any member country or colony of the British Commonwealth had a phrase similar to this on the obverse of the coin.
The phrase is modified accordingly as a new Monarch takes the throne or the circumstances of the British Commonwealth changes.
This practice is not as common now as it once was.
The phrase "Elizabeth II DEI GRATIA REGINA FID DEF" is mostly abbreviated from Latin. The literal definition is - "Elizabeth II by the Grace of God, Queen, Defender of the Faith".
The coin is probably British if it has no country name on it, but could come from any of the 54 Commonwealth countries.
Any British coin, or any coin of any British Empire country minted from 1838 to 1901 inclusive, during the reign of Queen Victoria will have that legend on it.
Not enough details. What country? (if there's no country on the coin, it's from the U.K) What date? Please post a new question.

What is a1968 gratia Regina f.d elizabeth 11gratia gold coin worth?
A 1962 Canadian silver dollar with the image of Elizabeth and text of ELIZABETH II DEI GRATIA REGINA is worth $11.42 today. This is because of the value of the metals used to make the silver dollar.
DEI is Latin for God. It will appear on many British coins and coins of many of the British Empire/Commonwealth countries. The full, unabbreviated legend for a 1958 (Elizabeth II) coin would read "ELIZABETH II DEI GRATIA BRITANNIA OMN REGINA FIDEI DEFENSOR" meaning - "Elizabeth II by the Grace of God, Queen of all the Britains, Defender of the Faith". Depending on the coin and country, it would often be shown very heavily abbreviated as "ELIZABETH II DEI GRA BRITT OMN REGINA F D", or even "ELIZABETH II DEI GRATIA REGINA" with "FID DEF" on the reverse.
i have the same coin and it depends on the coin which is 5.5 grams and it is about 22 carat which is £164.09
The Latin phrase "Dei Gratia Regina Elizabeth" translates as Elizabeth, queen by the grace of God. This phrase (or an abbreviated version, D. G. Regina) appears on all the coinage of the British Commonwealth, therefore it does not identify a specific coin. I don't even know what country it is from, let alone what its denomination is. Furthermore, even if I knew exactly what coin you were talking about, the value varies tremendously depending upon the condition of the coin. Most coins from 1958 would have no value to a collector unless they were in extremely good condition.
If the coin has the image of the seated figure of Britannia holding a shield and trident on the reverse, and no country name on it, it will be a British Penny minted at the Royal Mint London.
Canada issued 6 different circulating coins in 1960. Please post a new, separate question with the coin's denomination.
That's Elizabeth II, not Elizabeth the EleventhAssuming it's from Canada, your coin is mostly silver and might sell for $5 or $6.
It depends on the denomination and condition of the coin. "Elizabeth II Regina" means "Elizabeth the Second, Queen", and "South Africa Suid-Afrika" is simply the name of the country, first in English and then in Afrikaans. All coins issued in South Africa in 1955 had both phrases ("Elizabeth II Regina" and "South Africa Suid-Afrika") on them.
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.
