The obverse of the 1953 British Sixpence reads from the top " ELIZABETH II DEI GRATIA BRITT OMN REGINA", which is Latin for "Elizabeth II by the Grace of God Queen of all Britain". The reverse reads "FID DEF" which is a continuation of the obverse inscription meaning, "Defender of the Faith", a title given to Henry VIII by the Pope (before he incurred the wrath of the catholic church), and of course SIX PENCE 1953.
