Rulings
The creature returns to the battlefield tapped. It does not return to the battlefield and then tap afterwards.
If Tawnos’s Coffin leaves the battlefield before its ability has resolved, it will exile the targeted creature forever, since its delayed triggered ability will never trigger.
If the exiled card is returned to the battlefield and, for some reason, it now can’t be enchanted by an Aura that was also exiled by Tawnos’s Coffin, that Aura will remain exiled.
If the targeted creature is a token, it will cease to exist after being exiled. Any Auras that were attached to it will remain exiled forever.
Because the new wording doesn’t use phasing, the exiled card will suffer from summoning sickness upon its return to the battlefield.
The effect doesn’t care what types the card has after it is exiled, only that it have been a creature while on the battlefield.
