You refer to only part of the inscription on British and Commonwealth coins. OMN REX is abbreviated Latin for "King of all", OMN REGINA is "Queen of all". OMN REX (or OMN REGINA) has appeared on all British Coins from 1902 until the mid-1950's. Depending on the state of the British Commonwealth and the reigning King or Queen, the entire inscription might look something like this - EDWARDVS VII DEI GRA BRITT OMN REX FID DEF IND IMP which means "Edward VII by the Grace of God, King of all the British Territories, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India". On smaller coins such as the Threepence, the Latin is more heavily abbreviated to fit it onto the coin. EDWARDVS VII D G BRITT OMN REX F D IND IMP

15 years is a very big mistake especially for a gold coin. I suggest that the coin is not what it appears to be. A reputable coin dealer will be able to identify your coin and give a valuation if it turns out to be genuine.

How do you tell the difference between an English 1937 Halfcrown coin and a 1937 New Zealand Halfcrown coin?

It is fairly easy. Apart from the dimensions, they are nothing alike. The British coin has GEORGIVS VI D : G : BR : OMN : REX on the front. The New Zealand coin has GEORGE VI KING EMPEROR on the front. British coins do not have the country name on them. The New Zealand coin has NEW ZEALAND on the reverse.

What does IND IMP on the Sixpence mean?

IND IMP was part of a much larger title used by British Monarchs. It is abbreviated Latin and means Emperor (or Empress) of India. IND IMP (India Imperator) was used on British and British Empire/Commonwealth coins from about 1893 when India became part of the British Empire, until 1948 when India became independent. Depending on who was king or queen at the time and which particular coin it appeared on, the legend may have appeared as - "VICTORIA DEI GRA BRITT REGINA FID DEF IND IMP" "EDWARDVS VII DEI GRA BRITT OMN REX FID DEF IND IMP" "GEORGVS V DEI GRA BRITT OMN REX FID DEF IND IMP" "GEORGVS VI DEI GRA BRITT OMN REX FID DEF IND IMP"
