Cash contribution to education in history (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ducat

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

'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" .)
