I assume it is a French franc and not from Switzerland or any of the other countries that use (or used) that denomination. Large numbers of francs were struck that year because of currency revaluation, and they stayed in circulation up till they were replaced with euros in 2002. Unless your coin is uncirculated it's only worth about a quarter.

That is a modern Swiss 5 Franc coin. In circulated condition, it would be worth about $4.50.
There are 5 twenty rappen coins in one Swiss Franc. This is because a Swiss Franc is equal to 100 rappen, and 100 divided by 20 equals 5.
The value of this Swiss coin depends on its circulation condition. It can range in value from 5 dollars to 30 dollars.

The value of 5 francs in US dollars depends on the current exchange rate between the Swiss franc (CHF) or the French franc (FRF) and the US dollar (USD). As of my last knowledge update in October 2023, the exchange rate for the Swiss franc is approximately 1 CHF = 1.10 USD, which would make 5 CHF roughly equal to 5.50 USD. However, for the French franc, which is no longer in use since 2002, it would need to be converted based on historical rates, which can vary significantly. Always check the latest exchange rates for accurate conversions.
Quite a bit ! Swiss 5 Franc coins from 1931 to 1967 have 0.4027 ounces of real silver in.
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.
