A town of southern Spain in the province of Malaga; 18 m. W.S.W. of the city of Malaga. Pop. (1900) 12,326. Coin is finely situated on the northern slope of the Sierra de Mijas, overlooking the small river Seco and surrounded by vineyards and plantations of oranges and lemons. There are marble quarries in the neighbourhood, and, despite the lack of a railway, Coin has a thriving agricultural trade. The population increased by more than half between 1880 and 1900.
