More information is needed. Your coin is almost certainly from England, but you need to say what its denomination is and how worn it is. Please post a new question with that information to help ID it.

Also, the wording (hard to see, I know) is actually "Dei" rather than Del. The motto is heavily abbreviated Latin for "Victoria, by the Grace of God Queen of England, Defender of the Faith, and Empress of India".

What is the value of a 1911 Elizabeth II dei gratia Regina fd plus copper Penny value?

You're asking about a British Penny (KM#897) minted between 1961 and 1970 (there is actually one example known from 1954 - it would be worth a lot). It is a large bronze coin weighing 9.40 grams and measuring 30.72mm in diameter. To value it, one would have to know the year and the condition. Broadly, it is worth well under a US dollar in circulated condition, up to a dollar or so in Uncirculated condition, and about US$1,000.00 in Proof (except for 1970, which was only produced in Proof and is worth perhaps US$3.00-5.00).
