I wouldn't; it's beautiful as is.
But if it's Tyche, Secvritas or Salus seating on the reverse, I couldn't tell you.

Do you have any honey locust trees where you live? The ones with big thorns? I saw a guy on YouTube using them to scrape crud from Roman coins without damaging bronze patina. Check YouTube for “coin cleaning”.

Wouldn't a toothpick do the same thing? Or are they too hard or something?

A fantastic find - congrats !

If you do decide to clean it in any way be very careful.
It's very easy to loose detail /damage old bronze coins if you clean them the wrong way.
Keep in mind - this process can not be undone !

Good Luck !
