I can't find a direct answer for this, however my best guess would be heme. Heme is largely conserved across most species on the planet because of how functionally optimized it is, and because it is so essential to life and abundant in great amounts in most organisms, I would guess that it is the most common coordination compound on Earth.
Re: Most abundant coordination compound question
Most coordiantion compounds are either created by humans, or produced by organisms. So as the other commentor stated, heme is probably the most abundant considering how many organisms rely on it and how much each organism produces.
