"BRITT OMN IND IMP" is abbreviated Latin and appears on many of the British Empire/Commonwealth coins during the reigns of King Edward VII, King George V and King George VI.
It translates as "all the British territories, Emperor of India".
It is usually part of a much larger legend which changes from King to Queen and the state of the Empire/Commonwealth at any point in time. The extent of abbreviation of the expression is greater or smaller depending on the size of the coin it has to fit onto.
For King George VI it would most commonly read something like - "GEORGIVS VI D G BR OMN REX F D IND IMP", which unabbreviated would read - "GEORGIVS VI DEI GRATIA BRITTANIA OMNI REX FIDEI DEFENSOR INDIAE IMPERATOR". Translated into English - "
George VI by the Grace of God, King of all the British territories, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India".
