Toss a coin to find one who is so admired (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

icon

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

'find one who is so admired' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.

'toss a coin' is the wordplay.
'toss' indicates an anagram.
'coin' anagrammed gives 'ICON'.

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for icon that I've seen before include "object of admiration" , "famous personality" , "Devotional painting" , "Image - sex symbol" , "Symbolic person or image" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
