Coin from Saracen treasure (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cent

'coin' is the definition.
(cent is a kind of coin)

'from saracen treasure' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'CENT' is hidden within 'saracen treasure'.

(Other definitions for cent that I've seen before include "Part of a dollar" , "One-hundreth part of a currency" , "Small US coin" , "Little bit of money" , "cheap at this price?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
