Real British gold sovereigns in a movie - National Velvet (1944)

This 1944 MGM film "National Velvet" has a scene where Elizabeth Taylor's mother gives her 100 gold sovereigns to enter her horse in England's Grand National race.

British Gold sovereigns of George V

Also a British shilling appears at one time:

British Shilling of George V

The Shilling is real and the sovereigns appear to be real also.

I wonder how hard it was to round up these coins in 1940's Los Angeles where the film was made.
