Yup, at the end of White Night, the clincher was when he tried to play the guitar and though supposedly she was dead, he heard Lash whisper in his head.  He then called Father Forthill to come over, dug up the coin and gave it to him.

Of the Senior Council members, who do you think would be most likely to have a Coin?

What unique ability would you like to see a Coin give it's user?

Jim said they each have a powerup; that's different.

We know LtW's shapeshifting isn't just skill related
Rashid has his eye
Ebenezer has the Blackstaff
One, IIRC, is a saint/has access to faith magic. Martha Liberty is very tight with the loa; between that and her name, Santeria priestess is quite possible.

That leaves Christos, Merlin, and Ancient Mai.

Ancient Mai can identify a Foo Dog on sight; I would be surprised if she could conceal such. Plus she's ancient- she's aged, and the coins work against that.

Merlin and Christos are your two real possibilities.

Avernite:
Merlin would make a nice mirror for Harry, I guess.

Presumably if he has it, he didn't use it much. That mirror is already taken by Marcone. No, if it's the Merlin, he got the coin safely, he stashed it in a box without being Shadowed, and he keeps it around for when he needs power more than reason. And when disaster strikes, he will pick up the coin and find out it's one of the thugcoins, and be none the stronger for it (though a bit less killable).

Yuillegan:
Merlin, or Christos. But I doubt Christos at this stage as we haven't seen many hints for it. I am not sure the Merlin needs such a thing tbh.

If the Merlin did have one though I would expect it to be one that is unexpected. More like Anduriel. Not a battle form as such. Maybe a light around him plus the demonic eyes and sigil. Something that helps bring out the worst in him. Something that brings order and zealotry. Maybe it would help him control others like Saruman. Or perhaps it would conceal him and his activities. Illusion and wonder.

Christos would be totally different. I can see it being a Mr Hyde type of situation. He might turn into a giant rage monster that shakes the earth.

If you're not going to draw upon enhanced durability when you're batted around and set on fire, what are you holding it for?
