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.
not much... about 2$
It appears that the first 2 Franc coin issued by Switzerland (HELVETIA" is the Latin name for Switzerland) was minted in 1850.

"Confoederatio Helvetica" is the Latin name for Switzerland (because Swiss citizens speak 4 different languages, they use Latin on the coins so as to be fair to everyone), but without knowing the denomination (value) of the coin it's like asking "how much is a 1929 U.S.A. ?". If the number on the reverse (back) is followed by 'Fr.' then it is a 1-Franc, half-Franc, or 2-Franc. These are all 0.835 *real silver* (i.e. 83.5% silver) - the 1 Franc has 0.1342 of an ounce of silver in it (the 2-Franc has twice as much, a half-Franc, half as much - simple !). To find out how much an ounce of silver is worth right now, try looking at www.kitco.com or www.24hgold.com. Then use a calculator. If the number on the reverse has no letters after it, it's basically a number of 'cents' (called a 'Rappen' in German, 'centime' in French, 'centesimo' in Italian, or 'rap' in Romansh). You probably couldn't sell it unless it's totally unscratched and shiny ('brilliant uncirculated', or BU) - but if it is, look it up on the related link.
The coin you are referring to is from Switzerland ("Confoederatio Helvetica" is Latin for "Swiss Confederation"), you haven't identified the denomination or the condition of the coin. Switzerland produced coins for 1, 2, 5, 10 and 20 Rappen in 1938, but not the usual 1/2 Franc, Franc, 2 Franc and 5 Franc coins (although very valuable patterns of the 1 and 2 Franc coins were produced). Depending on denomination and condition of your coin, it could be worth between a few cents and perhaps $20.
The value of a 1969 Helvetia Swiss 2 franc coin typically ranges from $2 to $5, depending on its condition and market demand. Coins in uncirculated or mint condition can fetch higher prices, while those in average circulated condition are usually on the lower end of the scale. For a precise valuation, it's best to consult a coin dealer or check recent auction results.
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.
It's a common date, worth about $2 for its silver content.
To determine the current value of 245,000 Swiss francs from 1963, we need to account for inflation over the years. The average inflation rate in Switzerland from 1963 to today is approximately 3.5% per year. Using this rate, 245,000 Swiss francs in 1963 would be worth around 2 million Swiss francs today, though the exact amount can vary based on specific inflation calculations and economic conditions.
