You are asking about a 1 Franc coin from Switzerland (KM#24). "Confoederatio Helvetica" is the Latin name for the "Swiss Confederation," the official name for Switzerland; Switzerland has four official languages and Latin is used officially in order to avoid having to write the country's name four times (in four languages), especially on a coin. "Helvetia" is the personification of Switzerland, much as Britannia is for the United Kingdom or Marianne is for France. The coin is 23.5mm in diameter, weighs 5.00 grams and is 83.5% silver, giving it an ASW (Actual Silver Weight) of 0.1342 troy ounces. With silver at US$18.40 per troy ounce (as of June 15, 2010), the "melt value" of the coin is US$2.47. The front bears an image of Helvetia standing with a lance and shield within a border of stars; the word "HELVETIA" is below her. The back has the value and date within a wreath. 3,300,000 of these coins were produced in 1920.

According to the Standard Catalog of World Coins, an example is valued at US$2.00 in Fine condition, US$3.00 in Very Fine condition, US$5.00 in Extremely Fine condition, US$30.00 in Uncirculated condition, and US$50.00 in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. A few "Specimen" versions were also produced - these are valued at about US$450.00 each.
