Why is E II R on Elizabeth coronation bible?

The inscription "E II R" on Queen Elizabeth II's coronation bible stands for "Elizabetha II Regina".

* Elizabetha is the Latin form of her name.

* II indicates she was the second monarch with that name (following Queen Elizabeth I).

* Regina is the Latin word for "Queen".

Therefore, the inscription translates to "Elizabeth II, Queen". This is a standard inscription used on many royal artifacts and documents, signifying the monarch's ownership and authority.
