What do you mean by "a single coin"? Do you mean a single transaction?

the mean a single address, which contains all the coins (94k in this case)

That's what I figured. Weird to call it a coin. There are no coins in bitcoin.

Coins are just the metric used to quantify the amount on an address.

No. That's called the balance. "Coins" are not a thing. That term is not in any of the bitcoin glossaries or used on any exchange.
