Victoria, for example, punishable by death (7)

I believe the answer is:

capital

I believe this is a double definition.

'victoria for example' is the first definition.
(Victoria is the capital of the Seychelles)

'punishable by death' is the second definition.
(as in a capital crime)

(Other definitions for capital that I've seen before include "source of profit" , "Wellington, say" , "Metropolis" , "Money saved or invested - seat of government" , "Money - chief city" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
