Government right to give some money (6)
I believe the answer is:
stater
'money' is the definition.
(I know that stater is a type of coin)
'government right' is the wordplay.
'government' becomes 'state' (the state can mean government authority).
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'state'+'r'='STATER'
'to give some' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stater that I've seen before include "One specifying" , "making declaration?" , "Greek currency as earlier" , "I say" , "One expressing clearly; ancient Greek coin" .)
