Papua New __ (6)

I believe the answer is:

guinea

(Other definitions for guinea that I've seen before include "Old British gold coin with a value of 21 shillings" , "One pound and fivepence" , "State" , "twenty one shillings" , "Old coin; African country" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday and the USA Today.
