You are asking about a 1 Franc coin from Switzerland (KM#24). The coin weighs 5.000 grams, measures 23.5 mm in diameter, and is made of 83.5% Silver, giving it an ASW (Actual Silver Weight) of 0.1342 troy ounces. The obverse (front) bears an image of Helvetia (the personification of Switzerland, much like "Uncle Sam" is the personification of the United States) standing with a lance and shield, with the "HELVETIA" below. The reverse (Back) has a large "1 Fr." and a smaller "1953" within a wreath. 786,000 such coins were produced in 1953.
According to the Standard Catalog of World Coins, an example is worth US$2.50 in Fine condition, US$3.00 in Very Fine condition, US$7.00 in Extremely Fine condition, US$20.00 in Uncirculated condition, and US$32.00 in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. A small number of Specimen coins were produced for collectors as well - such coins would be valued at about US$120.00.
You have a coin from Switzerland (The Helvetian Confederation, to the Swiss). Anything that new is almost certainly only worth face value. You didn't state the coin's denomination - an important piece of information - but exchange rates in early 2010 have been in the range of CHF 1 = US$ 0.90
