The phrase "VICTORIA DEI GRA BRITT REGINA FID DEF IND IMP" is mostly abbreviated from Latin. The literal definition is - "Victoria by the Grace of God, Queen of the British territories, Defender of the Faith, Empress of India". It does not tell me where the coin is from, or anything about the coin, other than it was minted by, or for, one of the many British Empire countries during the very long reign of Queen Victoria (1837 to 1901).
If the coin has no country name on it, it is most likely a British coin.
All coins will have a year on them somewhere. Commemorative coins may have two dates, the later date is the relevant date.
During the reign of Queen Victoria, the Penny, Halfpenny, Farthing and fractional
Farthing coins are all copper or bronze, and were incrementally smaller as the value decreased. Earlier coins did not have the denomination on them, later coins did.
Silver coins include the Crown (Five Shillings), Double-Florin (Four Shillings), Halfcrown (Two Shillings and Sixpence), Florin (Two Shillings), Shilling, Sixpence, Groat (Fourpence) and Threepence and were incrementally smaller as the value decreased. Some silver coins did not have the denomination on them, some did.
Gold coins include the Five Pound, Two Pound, Sovereign and Half-Sovereign coins and none of them have the denomination on them.
Many of these coins were minted when the literacy rate was low, but people could identify a coin by its size, weight and appearance.
To successfully identify any British coin without the denomination on it somewhere, you would need to specify the metal it is made from, the diameter of the coin and possibly the thickness, the design on the reverse and the year.

...There is no such coin as "Dei Gratia" which translates from Latin to "By The Grace of God". The coin you are referring to seems to be a British coin or one of Britain's dominions such as Canada because most of them have the words "Dei Gratia" or some abbreviation of it on the coin. If it is a British, Canadian or other British dominion coin, it will have a picture of Queen Victoria on the front. The reverse may or may not give the denomination depending on the coin, but with searching, you should be able to find the design that matches your coin and find out the denomination.
