    Description

    1983 Great Britain 20 Pence with Queen Elizabeth II on Obverse Nearly UNC. The odd initials on the obverse below Queen Elizabeth’s Portrait are DG REG FD
    They mean:
    The D G REG has been shortened from 'Dei Gratia Regina' which is Latin for 'By the Grace of God, Queen'. The F D stands for 'Fidei defensor' which is also a Latin phrase and means 'Defender of the Faith' which reflects her position as Supreme Governor of the Church of England.
