You are asking about a gold 20 Franc coin from Switzerland (KM#31.1, #31.2, #31.3, #35.1 or #35.2), produced between 1883 and 1949. The coin weighs 6.4516 grams andi is 90% gold, giving it an AGW (Actual Gold Weight) of 0.1867 troy ounces. With gold at US$1,397 per troy ounce (as of December 14, 2010), the "melt value" of this coin is about US$261. The most common dates are 1935L-B, 1947 and 1949, but while there are a couple of dates with relatively low production (particularly 1926, when only 50,000 were minted), the premium for a particular year, or for a Briliant Uncirculated example as compared to one in Fine condition, is likely to be no more than US$20-$50 or so. The exceptions to this are 1887 (176 minted) and 1888 (4,224 minted) which are worth several thousand US dollars each, as well as a handful (perhaps 30 each year) produced in 1893, 1895 and 1897 of bright Valaisian gold with a small cross punched in the center of the Swiss cross on the back of the coin, examples of which would also run into the thousands of US dollars.

Did Germany conquer Switzerland during World War 2?

No, they stole a lot of gold from Jews, looted banks in the countries they occupied, and deposited it in Swiss banks. Gold Swiss Francs were one of the coins commonly held as an investment or hedge against inflation. Actually, a lot of people who invest in bullion still have some of it in Swiss Francs minted in the late 1800's and early 20th century.
