Crossword Genius

Coin wasted, given rose (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sovereign

'coin' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'wasted given rose' is the wordplay.
'wasted' is an anagram indicator.
'given'+'rose'='givenrose'
'givenrose' is an anagram of 'SOVEREIGN'.

(Other definitions for sovereign that I've seen before include "more than a prince" , "Head of state" , "Old money" , "Her Maj?" , "Outstanding" .)
