It's part of the heavily abbreviated Latin motto that appears on coins from England and other Commonwealth countries. It's been used for centuries, with modifications for the reigning monarch's name and the political situation at the time.
The monarch's name may or may not be Latinised - e.g. you'll see "Elizabeth II" for the current queen, but something like "Georgivs VI" to refer to George the 6th.
Other parts, with possible abbreviations:
d.g. ; dei gra. ; dei gratia, "by the grace of God"
Rex - "king" ; Regina - "queen"
omni ; omn ; - "of all"
B, BR, Britt - "Britain"
f.d.; fid. def. - "defender of the faith"
ind. imp. - "emperor/empress of India" (before 1948)
so a motto for Victoria might translate as the mouthful "Victoria, by the grace of God Queen of all Britain, Defender of the Faith, and Empress of India"
Elizabeth II DG REG FD
Elizabeth II, By the Grace of God Queen and Defender of the Faith (inscription on British Coins)
