Sees coins reminted after political demerger (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

secession

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'political demerger' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'sees coins reminted' is the wordplay.
'sees coins' can be anagrammed to 'SECESSION'.
Though, I am unsure how the anagram is indicated.

'after' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for secession that I've seen before include "The leaving of a federation" , "form of schism" .)
