"Georgivs Sextvs Rex" is latin for "King George the Sixth". King George VI was King of Great Britain from 1936 to 1952. If the coin says only "Georgivs Sextvs Rex" on the obverse, it is likely not from Britain but rather one of its colonial holdings - the name of the colony would be on the coin somewhere. British Coins from the reign of George VI usually have a somewhat longer phrase of abbreviated latin which translates to "George the Sixth, by the Grace of God, King of all Britons, Defender of the Faith [and until 1947] and Emperor of India." Most (although not all) coins bearing a portrait of George VI show him facing to the left and without a crown.
