Your coin is made of .900 gold and has an actual gold weight of .0467 oz. From World Coin News I see some for sale between $60-$90 but these are in extra fine grade. I doubt your coin is just a good. That grade is very low and means that your coin has very little detail. It is still worth gold content, The latest price I have on gold is Feb. 8th at $656.00 an ounce. Check a newspaper for latest price. The above are retails so you would get less from a coin dealer.

Napoleon III 5 francs of France, like your piece dated 1862, contains 90% gold, and in mint condition, the nett content of pure gold is 0.0467 oz (about $32). I'm not sure what you meant by "good condition", because in numismatic terms, a Good condition coin refers to one which is very worn with all the major features flat and many details missing. If your coin has most of the features present and the wreath on the head of the King about 50% visible, then I'd say your coin is valued at around $40-$50. Better than that with more luster from $80-$100. An almost uncirculated specimen dated 1867 was recently sold for $90 online.

Well on Ebay they're only going for a couple of bucks right now.
