Translation | Translated from Latin: Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, Queen, Defender of the Faith, Saint Helena. |
This legend is displayed on some of the coinage of Saint Helena, which is part of the British Overseas Territory of Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha - owing to which Queen Elizabeth II is its Head of State. Following a long-standing tradition, the legend is in Latin, and is abbreviated due to lack of space on the coin for the full text. |
