The British Crown (Five Shillings) was minted in silver. 1894 was not a year of any great significance for Queen Victoria.
(Victoria) Fid Def Britt Reg and Regina Fid Def Britanniarum describes the title of the monarch in abbreviated Latin, in this case, Queen Victoria. It tells us nothing about the coin other than it is British or from one of the many British Empire/Commonwealth countries or Colonies. 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". British coins issued in 1887 were - Five Pounds - gold (non-circulating) Two Pounds - gold (non-circulating) Sovereign - gold (One Pound) Half-Sovereign - gold (Ten Shillings) Crown - silver (Five Shillings) Double-Florin - silver (Four Shillings) Halfcrown - silver (Two Shillings and Sixpence) Florin - silver (Two Shilling) Shilling - silver (Twelve Pence) Sixpence - silver Threepence - silver Penny - bronze Halfpenny - bronze Farthing - bronze
Check your coin again. Queen Victoria died in 1901.
Such a coin does not exist. Queen Victoria was not born until 1819 and did not become queen until 1837. King George III was on the throne in 1800.
The inscription "Victoria Dei Gra Britt Regina" refers to Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom, translating to "Victoria, by the grace of God, Queen of Britain." The value of a diamond pendant with this inscription would depend on several factors, including the quality and carat weight of the diamonds, the craftsmanship of the pendant, and its historical significance. If it is an authentic piece linked to Queen Victoria or has notable provenance, its value could be significantly higher, potentially reaching thousands or even millions, depending on the market and collector interest.
Queen Victoria ruled the British Empire from 1837 until her death in 1901. The legend "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". This expression and variations of it appear on the obverse of all pre-decimal coins of most British Empire/Commonwealth countries. The 1899 British Penny is not rare, there were over 26 million minted.
Such a coin does not exist. Queen Victoria died in 1901. The legend "Victoria-dei-gra-britt-regina-fid-def-ind-imp" does not help identify a coin. It could appear on any British or British Empire coin issued from 1838 to 1901. You need to describe the design on the coin, the metal it appears to be made from and the diameter. Coins dated 1951 would have George VI on them. If you do indeed have a Queen Victoria "coin" with 1951 on it, it may well be a souvenir token commemorating the 50th anniversary of her death.
I imagine this to be a coin set in a mount on a ring, but the description is incomplete. If it is a coin it is probably a sovereign. Modified coins have no collector value.
The 1898 Indian Head cent is considered common. Average circulated coins are $1.00-$3.00.
That motto is on ALL British coins so it doesn't help to ID a specific coin. Please post a new question with the coin's denomination and an estimate of how worn it is.
Well people say nothing but I've been looking around and in outstanding condition 10 English pounds, or 7 dollars..
There were no Australian (or Western Australian) Pennies minted prior to 1911. An image of Queen Victoria and the inscription VICTORIA DEI GRA BRITT REGINA FID DEF IND IMP (Queen Victoria, by the Grace of God, Queen of the British Territories, Defender of the Faith, Empress of India) or similar, would have appeared on the obverse of any official British coin minted in 1896. What you may have is a Traders token or a medallion. The reverse may have a business name and address on it or, some sort of commemorative inscription.
That motto appears on ALL British and British Empire coins of the time and (with variations for each monarch) is still used today, so it doesn't help to ID a specific coin. Please post a new question with the coin's country of origin.
