Thanks

I've never found anything much that will clean Aluminium-Bronze and not leave a harshly polished coin at the end of it.
always willing to trade modern UK coins for modern coins from elsewhere....

You might try asking a friendly jeweller to clean it with ultrasound. Some people recommend acid-free vaseline. I haven't tried that myself. I have tried a glass-fiber brush. This takes off metal! Use carefully. It leaves your coin shiny, but it will re-oxidize quickly in city air. Do not use this method on expensive coins.

An unidentified coin is a piece of metal. An identified coin is a piece of history.

it is not so rare  coin tat you  kill your time  for cleaning this coin.  Better to buy  another one  in XF/AU condition for 25 $.

At least it is a wonderful piece to test cleaning methods without ruining anything of worth.
