View of country acquiring gold (8)
I believe the answer is:
panorama
'view' is the definition.
(I know that view can be written as panorama)
'country acquiring gold' is the wordplay.
'country' becomes 'panama' (Panama is an example).
'acquiring' is an insertion indicator.
'gold' becomes 'or' ('or' is the heraldic name for gold).
'panama' placed around 'or' is 'PANORAMA'.
'of' is the link.
(Other definitions for panorama that I've seen before include "Extensive all-round view" , "Distant view of a wide area" , "Total view (of subject)" , "Wide view - TV programme" , "long-running programme" .)
