    Yes it's not France.
    Switzerland. It's one Swiss Franc.
    Only 800,000 minted and NGC says $7 in VF.
    Maybe around $5 for yours to a collector?
    There is a $2.50 melt value for the silver content. 83.5% 5 grams.

    Yes. Frankly-speaking, it's a Swiss Franc. I just wanted to say that.

    Fun fact about Swiss coins - they haven't changed the design one bit in over 120 years.

    I love that too. Even the non-silver ones are very fun to stack.

    And Switzerland issues one of the highest denominated coins in the world (in terms of USD value), next to Japan's 500 Yen. I wonder what a $5 dollar coin would look like here? Perhaps a bi-metal would be nice ;)
