What is the coin worth that has the inscription georgivs v dei gra Britt omn rex fid def ind imp dated 1914?

Answer 1

Such a coin does not exist.

IND IMP was dropped from the legend of British and British Empire coins in 1948 when India became independent.

A 1950 coin with the legend "GEORGIVS VI D G BR OMN REX F D" (no IND IMP) may have come from any of the 50 plus British Empire countries.

Answer 2

That inscription (with variations depending on who is king or queen) appears on ALL British Coins. The coin's denomination is needed to ID it - just posting the motto is a bit like trying to determine what a U.S. coin is worth because it has E Pluribus Unum or Liberty on it, LOL!

The coin's denomination will probably be on the front, i.e. the side without the motto. Look for a word such as farthing, penny, shilling, florin, etc. and then please post a new question.

Answer 3

You are quoting the Latin inscription that appears on ALL coins from the British Empire / Commonwealth. You have told us all about the King, but nothing about the coin.

Please post a new question with the coin's date, denomination, and how worn it is so that it can be identified and evaluated. The denomination will be something possibly peculiar such as a "farthing", "shilling", or "half-crown" or maybe the more familiar "penny".

Answer 4

You are asking about a 1 Florin coin from Great Britain. Its face value, 1 Florin, is equal to 2 shillings, or 1/10 of a Pound. 6,556,000 of these coins were produced in 1930. It is 28.3mm in diameter, weighs 11.3104 grams, and is 50% Silver - the ASW (Actual Siver Weight) is thus 0.1818 troy ounces. This gives it a "melt value" of US$3.25 (as of January 20, 2010).

According to the Standard Catalog of World Coins, the coin is worth US$5.00 in Very Fine condition, US$12.50 in Extremely Fine condition, and US$37.50 in Uncirculated condition.

By the way, the wording on the front of the coin "GEORGIVS V DEI GRA BRITT OMN REX" is abbreviated Latin for "George the Fifth, By the Grace of God, King of All Britain."

Answer 5

Any British coin or any coin from any of the British Commonwealth countries issued from 1937 to 1948 will have that inscription. The inscription does not identify the coin, only the Monarch.

Assigning value to coins is a very difficult subject, there is not enough information in your question to give an answer. There are on-line guides which will help you out. Alternatively you could take the coin to a store that sells collectible coins for an estimate.

• First you must identify the type of coin in regards to; country of issue, year minted, and face value. Also there may be variations in different mints or die sets used.
• Second you will have to assess the condition of the coin, this is somewhat subjective and the age and rarity of the coin need be taken into account. Wear, scratches, minting errors, holes and improper handling can all diminish a coins value. Also, I must advise you not to clean your coin, improper cleaning can damage a coin and reduce it's value immensely. A "patina" is valued on historic objects and removing it diminishes the item's value.
• After this, you must take the first two into account and compare your coin with similar coins to determine value.

Answer 6

You have two problems with this question.

1. Every British or British Empire/Commonwealth coin issued from 1911 to 1936 will have that inscription, or something very similar.

GEORGIVS V D.G.BRITT:OMN:REX F.D.IND:IMP: tells me who the King was, using abbreviated Latin for his extensive titles, but nothing about the coin.

2. George V did not become King until 1910, and the first coins with his image on them were issued in 1911.

If there is no country name on it, it is most likely British.

What is the denomination, what metal is it made from, what is the design on the reverse, what is the diameter?

Answer 7

Not that much, it is a rather common coin and is only worth around .99 pence ($1.50/US/Canadian, or around $1.13 Euros). The legend is George V (Georgivs being the Latin word for George), Dei Gra stands for Dei Gratia which is Latin for "By the Grace of God", Britt Omn Rex is abbreviated Latin for King of All The Britains, Fid Def is the Latin abbreviation for Defender of The Faith, and Ind Imp stands is abbreviated Latin for Emperor of India

Answer 8

Most coins issued by Britain or many of the British Empire countries would have carried that inscription in 1914.
