Old gold or silver coin (5)

I believe the answer is:

ducat

(Other definitions for ducat that I've seen before include "Cut Da out an old coin" , "Formerly a gold coin of several European countries" , "Ancient coin" , "Money no longer" , "Historical coin" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
