Spanish monetary unit (6)

I believe the answer is:

peseta

'spanish monetary unit' is the definition.
(peseta is a kind of spanish monetary unit)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for peseta that I've seen before include "Spain's former currency unit" , "Pre-Euro Spanish currency" , "currency being superseded" , "Previous Spanish money unit" , "Formerly the basic unit of money in Spain" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, the Evening Standard and the Canadiana.
