It looks like a handsome (so-called) sand or desert patina from the photo.
"... A form of twisted symbolical bedsock ... the true purpose of which, as they realised at first glance, would never (alas) be revealed to mankind."

I can´t see any need to "treat" this coin at all. It is beautiful as it is  :)

Don´t touch it,
don´t clean it,
leave it as it is now.
