That is a beautiful coin as is (really!). Any further removal of the contrasting sand patina would ruin the overall effect in my opinion.

I agree. Cleaning it would be hard and, even if skillfully done, would reduce the coin's appeal.
A beautiful coin by the way.

Here's mine but yours is MUCH nicer.

It would be difficult to clean it any further without using a hard and probably damaging method. I should leave like this as it gives the coin a very nice appearance.
