British/English coins and coins of the ancient world have never shown the country name. The country/empire was indicated by the head of the king on the coin.

In more recent times, the Royal Mint decided to continue the tradition for British/English coins.

Also, being the nominal or titular head of state of many of the 50 plus British Empire/Commonwealth countries, she would appear on the coins of many of those countries as well.
