    Nice sovereign. Nice young head design. Congrats. That stick lying on the ground under the horse's rear is the remnant of a broken lance. First modern sovereigns under George III had St. George killing the dragon with the other half of the lance. Then the design was changed so St. George has a sword, but the rest of the lance still remains on the ground.
