Start to kiss man with a coin (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

krona

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

'coin' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.

'start to kiss man with a' is the wordplay.
'start to' says to take the initial letters.
'man' becomes 'ron' (short for Ronald).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
The first letter of 'kiss' is 'k'.
'k'+'ron'+'a'='KRONA'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for krona that I've seen before include "Monetary unit of Sweden" , "Monetary unit of Iceland" , "Swedish currency unit" , "Swedish monetary unit" , "Scandinavian capital" .)
