A precious metal (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gold

'a precious metal' is the definition.
(gold is a precious metal)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for gold that I've seen before include "Thin sheet of precious metal" , "gift from a king" , "Tokens of marriage" , "Au - metal" , "first gets this?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
