lira

'former italian coin' is the definition.

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for lira that I've seen before include "Former Italian currency unit" , "Old unit of Italian money" , "Turkish currency" , "Former unit of currency in Italy" , "Unit of money for 26 across" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, the Wall Street Journal, the Newsday.com and the Penny Press.
