Almost all coins that have been printed in Canada for general use has contained the picture of the current Monarch of Canada. Coins there were printed during the Reign of His Majesty King Edward VII contain the phrase “D:G REX IMPERATOR” which is an abbreviated Latin phrase meaning “DEI GRATIA REX IMPERATOR” which translated means “By the Grace of God, King and Emperor” These coins were made between 1902 and 1910. Those produced during the Reign of His Majesty King George V between 1911 and 1936 contained the phrase “Dei Gra:Rex Et Ind:Imp” which is an abbreviation of Latin for “By the Grace of God, King and Emperor of India” Coins created during the Reign of His Majesty King George VI (1937 to 1952) contained the several phrases. Depending on the amount the coin was worth, it either said “D:G:REX ET IND:IMP” or “DEI GRA REX ET IND:IMP” meaning essentially the same thing; “By the Grace of God, King and Emperor of India” However, from 1947 until 1952 the coins reflected the fact that India had become a republic within the Commonwealth. These coins stated “DEI GRATIA:REX”, which again, is simply “By the Grace of God, King.” From 1952 until 1964 contained the full phrase "Die Gratia Regina". Coins made from 1964 until the present, have bared the phrase “D G Regina” which is, again, is abbreviated Latin for “Die Gratia Regina” or “By the Grace of God, Queen.” Coins printed by the Royal Canadian Mint will continue to use this phrase until Her Majesty passes away and The Prince of Wales becomes King. At that point, the phrase will again become “Dei Gratia Rex” Note that His Majesty King Edward VIII (Or, more properly, His Royal Highness The Duke of Windsor) never had any coins printed with his picture on them in Canada. His reign was so short that none were made.
