What coin says georgivs V Britt Omn Rex Et Ind Imp?

Answer 1

All you have told us is that you have a British coin or a coin from any of the 50 plus British Empire/Commonwealth countries issued in the reign of George V.

"Georgivs v Britt omn rex et ind imp" is abbreviated Latin for the Kings many titles and means - "George V, King of all Britain and Emperor of India".

You need to give us the year and denomination, along with an estimate of the condition of the coin in order for us to give you an estimation of value.

Answer 2

Any British or Commonwealth coin issued between 1937 and 1947 would have that motto, which is an abbreviation for the latin phrase which means:

George VI, By the Grace of God, King of all Britain, Defender of the Faith, and Emperor of India

After 1947, when India became independent, the "ind imp" (or "Emperor of India") was dropped from the motto.

It tells us who the King was. It tells us nothing about the coin.

Answer 3

Any British or Commonwealth coin issued between 1910 and 1936 would have that motto, which is an abbreviation for the latin phrase which means:

George V, By the Grace of God, King of all Britain, Defender of the Faith, and Emperor of India

It tells us all about King George V, but nothing about the coin or country of origin.

Answer 4

Your coin is either a British gold Sovereign or a gold Half-Sovereign.

The Half-Sovereign is 19.3mm in diameter.

The Sovereign is 22.05mm in diameter.

PS - St George is on horse back, not the dragon.

Answer 5

"GEORGIVS V DEI GRA BRITT OMN REX FID DEF IND IMP" is highly abbreviated Latin and translates to - "George V by the Grace of God, King of all the British territories, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India".

The phrase varies as the Monarch and the gender of the Monarch changes, and as the circumstances of the British Empire/Commonwealth changes.

It would have appeared on all British Coins, and many of the coins of the British Empire/Commonwealth countries from 1911 to 1936.

Answer 6

It could be a coin of almost any denomination from any one of the more than 50 countries of the British Commonwealth.
