GEORGIVS V DEI GRA:BRITT:OMN:REX FID:DEF:IND:IMP:
Which, when translated out of British coin-speak short-hand Latin, means "George V King by the Grace of God, Defender of The Faith and Emperor of India."

Others have answered satisfactorily, but it's worth noting that one year in Canada, in the 1920s, they dropped 'deo gratia' from the coins and there were such protests that it was restored the following year.
