You have a ring made from a 1948 British Florin (Two Shilling coin).
FID DEF IND IMP is abbreviated Latin and is part of a much larger inscription on many British Coins up to and including 1948.
The inscription as it appears on most British coins reads "George VI D : G : BR : OMN : REX : FID : DEF : IND : IMP".
Unabbreviated, it reads -
"GEORGE VI DEI GRATIA BRITANNIA OMNI REX FIDEI DEFENSOR India IMPERATOR"
The literal definition is - "George VI by the Grace of God, King of all the British Territories, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India".
This motto and variations of it have been used for hundreds of years to represent the reigning Monarchs magnificent title.
