Yours is an incredible coin Abhay! The one I have looks like this.
As you know, lead does not keep!  I wonder how yours did so well with time?

I really don't know. The coin is covered with some kind of Deposit - could be Calcium or Chalk. Maybe, because of this deposit, it is saved from further deterioration.
