is there no more coin option for supports?
I try looking for a support item that is for more defensive players, but it seems like all of them are offensive only... Is there no replacement for the coin line?

nope coin got deleted saldy. riot is clearly pushing for an attack attack attack attack meta
Sadly, they took the Ancient Coin line out of the game. The only "DEFENSIVE" line they have is the Relic Shield/Steel Shoulderguard lines & those are more suited to Tankier Champions than Enchanters.
So now your options are to either play aggressively with Spellthiefs or simply find another champion to play (Which sucks).
Coin wasn't a "defensive" option it was the "I do nothing yet get rewarded" option
The defensive options are 
You get a little bit of AD/AP, but mostly health, and the minion execute helps thin the wave and secure cannons when you can't be aggressive.
Take the ancient shield one instead. ranged can now execute below like 35%, so janna/raka/whatever can just tornado/stacall/auto whatever.
It's literally safer than coin because you can now collect your gold from 500~900 range instead of running up. You also need that extra 150hp instead of an additional 30AP to survive the absurd damage meta at the moment.
Coin needed to go.
It promoted an uninteractive play style.
Enchanters need to interact with their lane now to get their gold.
just take
The new shields ( and ) can be used instead. Now you can proc the minion execute even as a ranged champion.
Nope. but now your coin champs can use relic shield.
Ie.... when you need to play safe as a ranged support, get a shield /armguard instead of a spellthief. Then your only objective is farming minions, not poking champs. After 1000 gold. it's the same anyways.
I kinda miss coin But at the same time i really like the new AP minion item
