'to me it takes the form' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'a coin' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'coin' is 'inco' which is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'me' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'of' acts as a link.
