ducats
Venetian gold coins
Ducats were gold coins used across Europe for centuries, particularly in Venice and other Italian states.
The word survives mainly in informal use meaning money: I don't have the ducats for that.
Shakespeare's Shylock famously laments his stolen ducats.
The plural form appears far more often than the singular.
