In the old CGSE system Coulomb's law had a dimensionless coefficient of
proportionality equal to unity. By definition, the unit of charge was
assigned to a charge which interacts with an identical charge with the
force of one dyne when the distance is one centimeter.
For more details see "A Short Histoty of the SI Units in Electricity"
which was published in the February 1986 issue of The Physics Teacher.
