The Swiss franc (or Frank) was modelled on the French Franc. In those day, the value of a currency was determined by the amount of gold it contained. In 1848, the Swiss Confederation decided to issue a coin with the same gold content as the French Franc, and called it the franc.
I just got a 1910 one half Swiss franc in a pile of foreign coins.
That is a modern Swiss 5 Franc coin. In circulated condition, it would be worth about $4.50.
The value of this Swiss coin depends on its circulation condition. It can range in value from 5 dollars to 30 dollars.
It's the Swiss national hero called Wilhelm Tell.
"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.
The year on the Swiss Franc coin says nothing about the value but about the date when the coin was fabricated. Check out the number on the coin to see how much it's worth. You have the smallest piece (5 Rappen) going up to pieces of 10, 20 and 50 Rappen (100 Rappen = 1 Franc) , 1, 2 and 5 Swiss Franc coins.
About 21 cents.As to numismatic value, it depends on the year and the condition, but the coin you are referring to is a 20 rappen coin from Switzerland (there are 100 rappen to the Swiss Franc). As to foreign exchange value, 20 Swiss rappen equals (as of March 5, 2009) about 17 US cents.This is a Switzerland 20-Rappen coin, and retails anywhere from about 25 cents to five or six dollars, depending on condition.
You didn't indicate the coin's date, but assuming it's a recent coin you Swiss 5-franc piece only worth its exchange value of about $4.30 U.S.
