1992 1/2 Franco Wrong Die Position?

The pictures you show are Swiss coins, not French. A random sample of a few Swiss coins I have at hand show 1/2 franc and 10 rappen in medal alignment. (I need to check about other denominations.) I therefore guess medal alignment is common.
By the way: these coins are still legal tender. 1968 is the first year nickel was used for the 5 Swiss Franc coin.

If it can be of any help, you find all Swiss coins in the Numista catalogue:

The 5 Swiss franc coin you've shown is common with a very high mintage for 1968.

The peculiarity about it, is that the coin orientation changed in 1982 to medal alignment.

The term "medal alignment" for coins with parallel orientation is indeed pretty funny, as modern coins are all oriented that way. Well, almost all - the only countries in this world where coins still have that inverse orientation are the United States, Thailand and South Korea, I think. :)

No, not an error. I recently mentioned that elsewhere; what was peculiar about the Swiss orientations was that the lower denominations had the parallel alignment for many years (since 1880 or so) while the higher denominations (½ Fr and above) initially used the inverse alignment. That was "fixed" more than 30 years ago - since 1982 the parallel alignment has been used for all Swiss circulation coins. And yes, 5 CHF is about 5.50 USD or 5.70 CAD ... except that banks will usually not exchange coins. ;)
