"DECUS ET TUTAMEN" is a Latin inscription used on the edge of current British One Pound coin and many older British coins. It translates to "An ornament and a safeguard".

When precious metals were used to make coins, it was the practice of many to shave or clip the gold or silver from the edge of the coin from where it would be least noticeable. Milling or reeding the edge of a coin or placing an inscription on the edge made the practice more difficult with the added advantage of making a "clipped" coin more readily identifiable. This was a very big deal in the old days since the value of the coin was determined by its weight in the metal it was made from. A One Guinea gold coin weighing a few grams less than it should, was no longer worth One Guinea and vigilant traders would not accept them.

WHAT IS SAMPLE SPACE WHEN A COIN IS TOSSED ONCE?
The sample space, with a fair coin, is {Heads, Tails}.I am assuming that the probability that the coin ends up resting on its edge is so small that it can be ignored as a possible outcome.
How many possible outcomes are there if you toss a fair coin four times?
Normally there would considered to be 2⁴ = 16 possible outcomes as each outcome is one of 2 states: Head or Tails. ------------------------- There is an extremely small probability that a normal coin will end up on its edge, which mean there are 3⁴ = 81 possible outcomes. However, this probability is so small that it is ignored and normally only 2 outcomes are considered possible. As the radius to width ratio of the coin changes, the probability of the coin ending up on its edge changes, for some values being so significant that it becomes a real probability that the edge can result, and for some ratios it is almost always the edge that results and the probability of head or tails (ie ends of the cylinder that is the coin) is so small as to be ignored like the edge for a normal sized coin (cylinder).
