Metallic element whose chemical symbol is Au (4)

I believe the answer is:

gold

(Other definitions for gold that I've seen before include "Wealth; first prize" , "Mine produces this" , "Element (Au)" , "Deep yellow" , "Colour of archery target's centre" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
