Hi everyone, was hoping someone could grade this coin for me. I'm not sure what it's made of, the coin is not heavy, look's like it's still in good condition. I would appreciate any information about this coin.
Thank you

It is a copper-nickel half franc (1/2 Franc) from Switzerland in Europe. They're stil legal tender in Switzerland, and commonly found in circulation. Yours seem slightly better in terms of grade, compared to the ones commonly found in circulation, I would give it a grade of a solid very Good (VG) in British terms of grading. However, grading is not a science and it differs from person to person.

Unless strictly uncirculated, modern Swiss circulation coins hold little collectng value, except for a few rare dates. However, it's still very nice to own some, as I enjoy the timeless designs (almost hasn't changed since late 1800's).

Hope this helps.
