I recall someone else mentioned that this could be a stone piece of eight and a real piece of eight (since he only had one remaining at the end), both of which can be found in the park at the beginning. If so, it's definitely a nice way to link the two stories together.
Hello, I'd just like to inform you that I have uploaded the maps, and some other interesting visual content, from Return to Monkey Island, to my archive. Even some pre-release/concept maps are present, in nice resolution. Enjoy!
