More information is needed. Francs were issued for hundreds of years; please post a new question with the coin's date.
In any case francs minted since 1960 are worth very little - maybe 20¢ in circulated condition.
No. Copper-nickel. These circulated regularly until France adopted the euro in 2002. If your coin is from circulation it's worth less than a quarter. Correction: French francs from 1960-2000 are .999 nickel and as of 8/8/2012, nickel is trading at just over double the price of copper per pound, of which a U.S. quarter is made, so the melt value of a 1960 franc is over double the value of a quarter.
"Helvetia" is the national name for the country we call Switzerland. You have a standard circulation coin worth face value. At current exchange rates 1 Swiss franc is worth about 83¢ U.S.
There is a big difference in value between the France Franc and the Belgium Franc, so please specify.
The value of the 1948 half crown ranges between 1 pound and 2.50 pounds.
Several countries use (or used) the franc as their currency. Please post a new question with the coin's country of origin. Note: If it says "Confederatio Helvetica" your coin is from Switzerland.

Hey, I have the same coin and I know that a 1960 franc is worth a quarter so im guessing that a 1947 franc is worth around 70 cents? 110.448.000 coins were struck in 1947, which puts your valuation wright ! For your info : in 1960 there were 406.375.000 coins struck...
1 Franc (the old currancy of France - now using the Euro)
A franc is a type of German currency that is no longer in use. The value of one franc, in US dollars, is probably about one dollar. They are not very valuable.
There were 68.082.000 coins struck of this type in France, but most of them never made it to circulation. This makes it a good coin, which is worth about 150,- dollars in good condition!
