Splendid old gold coin (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

noble

I believe this is a double definition.

'splendid' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'old gold coin' is the second definition.
(historical English coin)

(Other definitions for noble that I've seen before include "Worthy" , "Maybe count" , "Stately" , "Illustrious - old money" , "eg Earl" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
