The 1875 Victoria Dei Gratia coin, commonly known as the British silver crown, features a depiction of Queen Victoria on the obverse, showcasing her regal profile. The reverse typically displays a shield with the royal arms of the United Kingdom, surrounded by a decorative border. The coin is characterized by its intricate details and the inscription "DEI GRA: BRITT: REG: FID: DEF:" which translates to "By the Grace of God, Queen of Britain, Defender of the Faith." It is made of 92.5% silver and has a distinctive diameter of 38.6 mm.
I found a Victoria DEI Gratia coin1888 FID: Def: on back looks like four shields with three lions on two of them and a signal lion one and a harp on other what is it ? Front is very good condition, back has two spots where it was stuck to another piece of coin token and metal.
You need to provide much more information. That motto appears on all coins of the current British Commonwealth and was on all coins of the empire when Victoria was queen. Please post a new question with the coin's denomination, how worn it is, and what country issued it. If there's no country shown on the coin it's probably from Britain.
All British coins have that motto, and all denominations from the Victorian era have Queen Victoria's picture on them, so that's not enough information to go on. Please post a new question with the coin's denomination and an idea of how worn it is. The denomination will be something like farthing, penny, shilling, or half-crown.
That motto appears on ALL coins from the British Empire / Commonwealth so it doesn't provide enough information to ID a coin. Please post a new question with the coin's denomination (it'll be something like penny, shilling, florin, or half-crown) and a description of the image on the side opposite to the monarch's picture.
Such a coin does not exist. King Edward VII died in 1910. You may also like to check the inscription. Apart from the name and number it should read "DEI GRATIA REX IMPERATOR". It might be a Canadian coin and the denomination would help a lot.
gratia, like gratia plena
Queen Victoria came to the throne in 1837 on the death of her uncle, King William IV. The first coins bearing her image were issued in 1838. Any coin like objects with the date 1837 and a reference to Queen Victoria on them will be some sort of token, medal or medallion issued in later years commemorating her coronation, marriage, death, one of her Jubilee years or some other memorable occasion in her long life.
There were no Queen Victoria commemorative coins issued by the Royal Mint. There were a great many commemorative tokens, medallions, medalettes and souvenirs produced for a great variety of occasions. About the only thing they have in common is that they are round.
Please check your coin. 1897 was the year of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee or 60th year on the throne. Sixpences were not issued as commemorative coins. You may have a Sixpence like souvenir token or medallion.
On the obverse (heads side), there is a portrait of HM Queen Victoria, facing left, with small olive branches in her hair. There is a dotted circle around the queen's head with the words VICTORIA DEI GRATIA REGINA (translation: Victoria, by the grace of God queen) outside the circle. Under the Queen's neck there is the word CANADA. On the reverse (tails side), there is the words ONE CENT 1858. Around the words there is a dotted circle with "beaded" maple leaves and stems.
sorry she doesn't like Victoria.
