Cash contribution to education in history (5)
I believe the answer is:
ducat
'cash contribution' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to property as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'education in history' is the wordplay.
'DUCAT' is hidden within the letters.
But, I am uncertain how this is indicated.
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ducat that I've seen before include "piece of gold" , "Antique coin" , "Historical coin" , "Old gold coin in e.g. Venice" , "ready no longer" .)
