Given credit, has coins (6)
I believe the answer is:
crowns
'coins' is the definition.
(crown is a kind of coin)
'given credit has' is the wordplay.
'given' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'credit' becomes 'cr' (abbreviation).
'has' becomes 'owns' ('own' can be a synonym of 'have').
'cr' put next to 'owns' is 'CROWNS'.
(Other definitions for crowns that I've seen before include "caps" , "Symbols of monarchy" , "At least ten shillings" , "emblems of kingship" , "Tops of heads - tops of teeth" .)
