Most likely not. You did not specify a country of origin, but most countries completely ended circulating silver coinage by the late 1960s with a few exceptions of coins with very high face values.
There is no silver in this coin. Despite its silver appearance, it is actually composed of nickel.
There is no such thing as a 1960 silver dollar coin.
No. Copper-nickel. These circulated regularly until France adopted the euro in 2002. If your coin is from circulation it's worth less than a quarter. Correction: French francs from 1960-2000 are .999 nickel and as of 8/8/2012, nickel is trading at just over double the price of copper per pound, of which a U.S. quarter is made, so the melt value of a 1960 franc is over double the value of a quarter.
Yes, the 1963 Swiss 2 franc coin is made of silver, specifically 83.5% silver and 16.5% copper. It features the Swiss shield on one side and the denomination along with the year on the other. This coin is part of the Swiss franc series that was minted until the 1960s before transitioning to a different composition. If you have a coin from 1963 with these characteristics, it is indeed a silver 2 franc coin.
Since 2002 France has used the euro; euro coins don't contain any silver. From the end of WWII to 2002, a few franc-denominated coins contained silver: 5 FF, 83.5% silver, 1960 to 1970 10 FF, 90% silver, 1965 to 1974 50 FF, 90% silver, 1974 to 1980 100 FF, 90% silver, 1982 to 2002 (very limited circulation)
It contains exactly 0% silver.
value is 5 francs
$5
Hey, I have the same coin and I know that a 1960 franc is worth a quarter so im guessing that a 1947 franc is worth around 70 cents? 110.448.000 coins were struck in 1947, which puts your valuation wright ! For your info : in 1960 there were 406.375.000 coins struck...
A 1969 1 Franc coin is worth about $0.22.
yes France 1 Franc 1898-1920 Silver (.835) - 5 g - ø 23 mm
The value of a 1924 1 Franc depends on the condition of the coin. A worn coin is valued at less than a dollar while a fully uncirculated coin is valued at 5 US dollars.
