The description is a clue to the subject using cryptic crossword clue rules. This one doesn't tell you the length of the answer since the picture gives you an additional clue.

Every cryptic clue is made up of two parts; a definition, and a literal description of the answer using wordplay. They can be in either order (though not intertwined).

Here is a page describing some of the techniques:

's (is - link)
money (definition)

Eur-oh, someone beat me :)

Odd image. Fun solve.

It is two-thirds of the Euro symbol
