Former English gold coins (7)

I believe the answer is:

guineas

(Other definitions for guineas that I've seen before include "Old money - run at Newmarket" , "Obsolete coins (still used at Newmarket?)" , "They used to be worth 21 shillings" , "Former gold coins" .)

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