A Geometry holds points in a single Coords block, and the number of Coords in the block is returned by ncoords().

A Model holds a Finite Element model, defined by nodes and elements. It is conceivable that the definition of an FE model contains points that are not nodes. To allow for this, we use common FE language to refer to the number of nodes: nnodes().

In a future implementation of (FE)Model we will likely make a distinction between the geometrical points and the nodes.

I am not sure about the logic behind the name of the method.
The coordinates of Model are called as Model.coords as the Geometry objects but to call the number of coordinates we use Geometry.ncoords and Model.nnodes. should it be Model.ncoords as well ? it is a bit confusing now. Can we set in Model ncoords=nnodes or rename nnodes to ncoords?
