Forms: Also coigne.

Etymology: an archaic spelling of coin n., quoin n., retained chiefly in connection with the phrase in sense 1.

1. In the Shakespearean phrase coign of vantage: a position (properly a projecting corner) affording facility for observation or action. (The currency of the phrase is apparently due to Sir Walter Scott.)
