Help with this coin

[amandab]

I've had this in my possession for years and don't even remember where I got it. Could someone please help identify what kind it is and its worth since I'm new at this ?? The front of it says "CONFOEDERATIO HELVETICA 1962" and the back just has "10" on it.
Thanks

Swiss coin.

Try GOOGLE and insert the inscription on the coin. Put that in quotation marks " " and you will find some info. I did it and it came back associated with Switzerland. Add the word coin and you get listings more related to currency and coins. It seems from a list that I found that the 10 on the back refers to 10 centimes.

I did this google search (which I had already done before posting) and found what I already knew, that it was Swiss. And I'm assuming its a dime. Just thought someone might know a little more about it.. Like I said before, I'm new to this and know nothing about coins except that I usually spend them.. Thanks for the help.

It's a 10 rappen piece; 100 rappen (or centimes) = 1 Swiss franc. (Currently, 1 Swiss franc = approx. 83 cents U.S.) The metal is a copper-nickel alloy, and it was struck at the mint in Bern, Switzerland. 1962 is one of the more common dates for this coin; the total mintage of 10 rappen pieces that year was a little less than 35 million. Your coin has a current collector value of about 15-25 cents in Very Fine to Extremely Fine condition.
