The 1948 film "Silver River" is a "Western" set in the post Civil War period in Nevada. Mike McComb (Errol Flynn) is a former Union army officer who heads west to set up a gambling house. Later he becomes wealthy and the town boss. On the way Mike plays poker with Georgia Moore (Ann Sheridan) for her wagons and a silver mine. Cards and coins lay on a table.

Georgia Moore had four queens but Mike McComb had four aces.

The coins are Los Angeles Rubber Stamp Company prop coins with various designs. The top right coin has the bird of paradise design. The middle right coin has a horseshoe design with a wishbone symbol. The bottom right coin has the President Monroe obverse.

This is an illustration of a dollar-size prop coin seen in this film. The coin has a wreath, a horseshoe, and a wishbone. I have never seen one of these coins except in films.
