What do the words “DECUS ET TUTAMEN” mean in English?
This legend, often seen on lettered edges of some English Coins, is Latin for: An ornament and a safeguard.
It first appeared on the edge of all early large milled silver coins as a warning against “clipping”. It also appears on the edge of current U.K. and Northern Ireland one pound coins.
