Genuine currency (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sterling

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'genuine' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'currency' is the second definition.
(I know that sterling is a type of money)

(Other definitions for sterling that I've seen before include "Ringlets being of solid worth" , "Excellent, first-class" , "Of solid worth, like British money" , "Genuine - money" , "banking standard" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
