You possibly have a very bad forgery or some sort of fantasy coin.
Queen Elizabeth II did not exist until the 2nd of June, 1953.
From the death of her father, King George VI, until her coronation in 1953, she was the Queen Regnant.
Prior to her fathers death, she was Princess Elizabeth.
Elizabeth ascended the throne in 1952 as Queen Regnant and was crowned in 1953 as Queen Elizabeth II.
There were no coins with her likeness issued prior to 1953.
