show the finished product.. 👍

The good news is that whatever you do to it, you are very unlikely to destroy any £ value in the coin.  I looks a good honest circulated predecimal coin.  Florin?

Soak it in olive oil for a few days to start with?  Most of the gunk might then come off with a toothpick (soak the toothpick in the olive oil and blunt the tip before working on the coin with it).

Go for it and show us the result 😀

Go for it. Just leave it in your trouser pocket and chuck them in the washing machine. I had a 20p in mine a few days ago and it came out like a NASA grade mirror.

Much less effort than olive oil and toothpicks for a 5 quid coin. 😂

I'll take £4.50!

Nice job - definitely an improvement!

 

Is it pre-1920 or post?  It looks to me as if it's the original effigy (1911-1926) rather than the modified effigy (1926-1936).  If it's a Florin, what date?  If it's 1925 it's still worth £15-ish, even after you have made it betterer 😉

It's a 1920

Shame it’s cleaned I would have gone around 80 pound 😉

Looks like I might do the same with this one.

You can do whatever you like with that one as far as I'm concerned!
(I'd consider sending to to Backyard Bullion so that it could be turned into something nice!)

No offence intended - it's silver after all, so we like it anyway 😁
