Question regarding MFJ-1714 antenna

I hope that someone might be able to answer a question for me: does
the MFJ-1714 have any coil in it which would serve to attenuate
frequencies below the 2m amateur band for which it's apparently
designed?

The 2 meter band is 144-148, not 440. The coil is a loading coil - it
manes the antenna electrically longer, it doesn't cut off any
frequencies.

Or would this antenna serve well for frequencies below 440 MHz on a
handheld scanner?

It's a bit long (cumbersome), but it should work.
