The coin is a token of the bitterness created by the senseless pain we experience. When a child witnesses violence or is abused sexually, they may feel that God has become a distant and meaningless thing.
In the end, the boy tosses the token of pain into the sea, he wishes to put the bitterness behind him. He walks to the town- his innocence, his past.
