Head appearing on large English coin (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

noble

'coin' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'head appearing on large english' is the wordplay.
'head' becomes 'nob' (I've seen this in other clues**).
'appearing on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'large' becomes 'l'.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'nob'+'l'+'e'='NOBLE'

(Other definitions for noble that I've seen before include "August" , "Maybe count" , "with a title?" , "Illustrious - of high birth - old gold coin" , "fine" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
