Copper coloured maiden? (5)
I believe the answer is:
penny
This clue could be a double definition.
'copper' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'coloured maiden?' is the second definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for penny that I've seen before include "Coin - girl's name" , "coin, decimal with 1a [NEW]" , "p; small coin" , "Small unit of currency" , "The price of a thought" .)
