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”.
I don’t know but next time I will look after!

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 !
 

Is there any place that professionally clean coins ?
