"The Card" was a British film released in 1952 and set around 1898.
The main character finds a man's coin wallet and returns it to him.

Sovereign cases were very popular as well. They could hold up to 5 coins.
Better quality sovereign cases were made out of sterling silver, English made ones hallmarked.
