Gold coin formerly used throughout Europe (5)

I believe the answer is:

ducat

(Other definitions for ducat that I've seen before include "Former Italian gold coin" , "Formerly a gold coin of several European countries" , "tender once" , "Mad; fruit" , "piece of gold" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
