Just purchased this contactor and it seems like a N-O contactor?
It is open circuit across all terminals.
What do you think?

[URL='https://www.electrical2go.co.uk/memshield-3-20a-2no-230vac-contactor-cr2020230a.html']It will be open circuit across any combination of terminals with the exception of A1 to A2 ( the ends of the coil )
Only when there is 230 volts AC applied to A1 and A2 will

Terminal 1 be connected to terminal 2
Terminal 3 be connected to terminal 4

What ohms should I expect from the coil?

The resistance of the coil when measured with DC test equipment will be very low compared to the operating impedance when a 50 Hz mains voltage is applied to the coil. I cannot find any information about DC coil resistance values for AC coils
 
I think you should expect whatever it turns out to measure. The chances of a new one being broken are extremely low.
