Token overthrow of rulers feasible (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

coupon

'token' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'overthrow of rulers feasible' is the wordplay.
'overthrow of rulers' becomes 'coup' (as in a coup d'etat).
'feasible' becomes 'on' (as opposed to 'not on' -unacceptable or unfeasible).
'coup'+'on'='COUPON'

(Other definitions for coupon that I've seen before include "Token" , "Voucher or ticket" , "betting slip" , "Entry form" , "means to buy goods" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
