Old coin - Sol? (6)
I believe the answer is:
tanner
This clue might be a double definition.
'old coin' is the first definition.
(historical sixpence coin)
'sol?' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tanner that I've seen before include "Leather maker or old sixpence" , "Old bit of silver" , "He cures hides, for an old sixpence" , ".One who cures animal hides" , "Old sixpenny piece" .)
