Worth is more of a monetary figure, whereas value implies more figurative attachment.

If you were to ask someone "What is this object worth?" they would give you a monetary amount. If you were to ask "How valuable is this object?" you might get a response about its background, origin, rarity, etc. They're very similar, though! Some people might use them interchangeably without noticing it but I would say this is the general rule.
