Etymology
鉠 combines 金 (metal) with 央, which likely contributes the sound. The exact historical meaning is uncertain.
Meaning mnemonic
The left side is metal 金, and the right side is 央. Without a clear meaning, picture an unknown metal object with a central 央 shape.
Reading mnemonic
For エイ, imagine an ancient metal tool called an 'A' (エイ) that has a central 央 mark.
