Iron or gold (5)

I believe the answer is:

metal

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'iron' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'gold' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for metal that I've seen before include "Tungsten, for example" , "Zirconium, for example" , "Alloy" , "Eg, Iron or gold" , "Iron, for instance" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate.
