Attack overturned, sheltering new currency (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dinar

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

'currency' is the definition.
(I know that dinar is a type of dinar)

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dinar that I've seen before include "Monetary unit of several Arab countries" , "Currency unit of Algeria, Libya etc" , "currency from abroad" , "money" , "Iraqi CURRENCY" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
