Queen Victoria was of course Empress of India, not Emperor. No other
British monarch had that title.
It's printed on coins of Edward VII:

and George V:

And even George VI:

Yes, but they were emperors, not empresses. Different words in English
and in Latin, though the abbreviated Latin on the coins is the same.
Also on coins of Edward VIII, though very few were ever issued.
