I have looked through the listings and cannot find any silver 5 franc pieces issued by the Republic of France in 1946. In that year 5 franc pieces were issued in both Aluminum-bronxe and Aluminum. I am assuming that you have an Aluminum issue. These coins were minted at three mints: Paris(no mint mark), Beaumont (B) and Castelsarrasin (C). Value for the first two mints is fairly low, from fifty cents in Fine condition to $3USD in Extremely Fine. Mintages at Castelsarrasin was fairly low, and values range from $8USD in Fine to $38USD in Extremely FIne condition.

The 5 Franc coin from France ("RF" stands for "Republique Francaise", which is French for the "French Republic") was produced from aluminum, not silver, in 1949.
203,252,000 were produced at the Paris mint (no mintmark) in 1949, and an example would be valued (according to the Standard Catalog of World Coins) at US$0.20 in Fine condition, US$0.35 in Very Fine condition, US$0.75 in Extremely Fine condition, and US$ 3.00 in Uncirculated condition.
A further 48,414,000 were produced at the Beaumont mint ("B" mintmark below the date) in 1949, and an example would be valued at US$0.50 in Fine condition, US$1.00 in Very Fine condition, US$2.50 in Extremely Fine condition, and US$ 8.00 in Uncirculated condition.
