The Bailiwick of Jersey currency (JEP) is pegged at par with the British Pound Sterling (GBP) and the Jersey decimal coinage is near identical in dimensions, composition and history to the equivalent British coins. Jersey currency is "legal tender" only in Jersey, but may be regarded as "acceptable tender" in Britain.

None, such crowns are all copper-nickel and run about $1 in uncirculated condition.

....You need to give us the denomination and the country of origin for the coin. All you told us is that a coin minted in 1965 with Elizabeth II's face on it (and all Dei Gratia Regina FD means is basically By the Grace of God Queen and Defender of the Faith).

Most, if not all British and British Empire coins issued during the reign of Queen Victoria will have the words (or variations of them) - "VICTORIA DEI GRA BRITT REGINA FID DEF IND IMP" on the obverse, meaning, "Victoria by the Grace of God, Queen of the British territories, Defender of the Faith, Empress of India". It is mostly abbreviated from Latin.

In 1887, Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee year, the inscription read "VICTORIA DEI GRA BRITT REGINA FID DEF", on the obverse. On the reverse, the inscription read, "HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE", meaning, "Evil to him who evil thinks".

This inscription seems to be almost exclusively used on the 1887-92 British Halfcrown, Shilling and a variant of the 1887 British Sixpence which was later withdrawn.

The Halfcrown is 32 mm in diameter.

The Shilling is 23.5 mm in diameter.

Such a coin does not exist.

There was no British Penny minted from 1955 to 1960 inclusive.

You need to give us the country of origin and the denomination along with an estimate of condition if you expect to receive a value. Queen Victoria reigned over a vast empire and a vast amount of coins were made with her name and portrait on them. Without knowing the denomination and country it is impossible to give you any remote estimate of value.

You are asking about a Penny coin (KM#9) from British West Africa. The coin is made of Copper-Nickel, weighs 9.65 grams and measures 30.5mm in diameter, with a hole approximately 6mm in diameter in the center. The obverse (front) of the coin has a crown, with the words "GEORGIVS V" to the left and "REX-ET-IND:IMP:" to the right (abbreviated Latin for "George the Fifth, King and Emperor of India") and "ONE PENNY" between the crown and the hole. Below the hole is the denomination in Arabic. The reverse (back) of the coin has a large 6-pointed star surrounding the hole, with the words "BRITISH WEST AFRICA" above "1916" below it.

The larger pre-1998 50 Pence coins were withdrawn from circulation and demonetised in 1998. So, unless they are part of a Proof or uncirculated mint set or are individual Proof or uncirculated coins and in absolute mint condition, they have little or no value.

Brass, not gold.

It's an ordinary circulation coin worth face value only.

The strange lettering is heavily abbreviated Latin and appears on nearly all coins of the British Commonwealth so it doesn't identify a coin specifically.

The 1983 British One Pound coin is made of nickel-brass and has a gold appearance. The Royal Shield is on the reverse and includes one lion and one unicorn representing England and Scotland.

The 1983 British Sovereign is made of gold and was issued as Proof FDC.

Neither coin has 2 lions on the reverse.

There is no adequate explanation for this, but the reverse of the 1922 British Penny has a very similar, but not identical reverse to the 1927 penny, a coin minted 5 years later.

The area of interest seems to be Britannia's index finger which is a little shorter.

Many coin catalogues point out that there is a difference, but do not go on to explain it.

The Royal Mint produced no Penny or Halfpenny coins from 1808 to 1824 inclusive.

Due to Britains ongoing expenses with various wars in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, there were very few silver or copper coins minted, subsequently there were a great many privately minted tokens and counterfeit coins produced.

To get an estimate of value on a privately minted token, you need to provide the details of the inscription on the token.
