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

'choice article in gold' is the wordplay.
'choice article' becomes 'the' (the definite article in English. I am not sure about the 'choice' bit.).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'gold' becomes 'or' ('or' is the heraldic name for gold).
'the' placed into 'or' is 'OTHER'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for other that I've seen before include "Different, disparate" , "Different; alternate" , "Different, not the same one or this one" , "Very unusual" , "Distinct" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
