Best Answer

The letters D G REG FD (and variations of it) appearing on any British coin or any coin of any of the 50 plus Commonwealth countries, is a Latin abbreviation for DEI GRATIA REGINA FIDEI DEFENSOR. The English translation is - "By the Grace of God, Queen and Defender of the Faith".

Variations of these titles have been used by British Monarchs in one form or another for hundreds of years.

Had there been a king on the throne, the word "REGINA" would have been replaced by "REX".

The 2008 mule 20p is more valuable than other 20p coins because it is uncommon and desirable to collectors. If the United Kingdom switched to the Euro this would not change the value of the coin as a collectors item, in fact it would probably make the coin slightly more desirable.
