RFV for this as an abbreviation of council, counsel, and country. It looks like it means councillor, at least usually. — Raifʻhār Doremítzwr ~ (U · T · C) ~ 12:41, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

The "council" sense seems attestable, but in a rather awkward way: lists of organizations often contain things like “Amer(.)/Brit(.) Coun(.) on/of […] ” (Amer on, Brit of, etc.), which don't make for great quotations (firstly because they're not inside sentences, secondly because there's no way to tell if the book's author is doing the abbreviating, or is using a pre-existing abbreviation). I'll see if I can find some decent ones, but if not, I move that we keep that sense, but with some examples rather than "quotations" per se. —Ruakh_TALK 19:25, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
