Here is a diagram that may help you better understand the question.
The points and the coil do not care if circuit is fed from a 6 or 12 volt battery. The points and coil want a near constant AMPS (usually about 4 amps).
Ohms law states that the current equals voltage divided by resistance.
6 volt coils are about 1 1/2 ohm resistance across primary, direct 12 /volt no resistor required coils are about 3 ohms.
In a 6 volt system 6 volts divided by 1 1/2 ohms equals 4 amps.
If you double the voltage to 12 volts you will need to double the resistance to 3 ohms to maintain the 4 amps. This can be done by adding a 1 1/2 ohm resistor or changing to a 3 ohm coil.
These voltage, current, and resistance values are nominal and will vary slightly in real life.
The 3 ohm direct 12 volt coil has the internal resistance determined by type of wire and number of turns in the coil. It does not have a separate resistor in series with the winding inside the coil can.

Today's Featured Article - Gettin My Old Tractor Home - by Clayton Sweeney. My name is Clayton Sweeney. I am from Southern Maryland in a small town called Lothian. I am 20 and my father and I are the proud owner of a 1954 Allis Chalmers WD-45. When I was 18, I dated a girl in the next county over. Her family are tobacco farmers. It was a cold Thanksgiving evening, and we were going up to her Grandparents house. As we passed one of their barns, I noticed something orange in the corner of my eye in this old shed. It was pretty dark and I asked what it was
