[QUOTE="Stephen Masters, post: 4062765, member: 20256"]Very interesting. Lots of fleur de lys (lilies) on the emblem of the House of Bourbon! It would be amazing if it might have been a gift to someone of that family, which could take it beyond a purely romantic statement to maybe a gesture of subservience. I noticed that Portugal ceded Equatorial Guinea to Charles III in 1778. Could there even be a possibility that it was a representation of that, if that was where the coconut came from?[/QUOTE]
