Token putsch over working (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

coupon

'token' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'putsch over working' is the wordplay.
'putsch' becomes 'coup' ('coup' can be a synonym of 'putsch').
'over' says to put letters next to each other.
'working' becomes 'on'.
'coup'+'on'='COUPON'

(Other definitions for coupon that I've seen before include "Entry form" , "Token" , "means to buy goods" , "Voucher or ticket" , "betting slip" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
