It's Virtus and Tryranny (designed to look like King George III) Also, it's the only state flag with a nipple and toes.

Well, TIL. I did know about being the only state flag that flashed boob, though.

The old state seal had the motto "En Dat Virginia Quintam" or "Behold, Virginia gives the fifth." A reference to the four claimed crowns of the British monarchs (England, Scotland, Ireland, and France) and the colony's Royalist tendencies that also gave it the name "The Old Dominion."
