Bird's name for old coin (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

crown

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

'bird's name' is the wordplay.
'bird' becomes 'crow' (crow is a kind of bird).
'name' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation e.g. on forms).
'crow'+'n'='CROWN'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for crown that I've seen before include "Old coin; top of tree" , "sporting award" , "Headdress, coin" , "Diadem" , "Highest part; coin" .)
