Coin goes Green but not in the right way
French Indochina Bronze 1 Centime 1885
I doubt whether anything can be done for it now, but advice accepted.

My wantlist & references
Was it like that when you bought it, or has it turned that colour? It looks like someone's already tried to kill the green, and either was only partially successful or it came back.
Personally, I'd try concentrated ammonia. It might turn the coin orange and end up looking like a moonscape, but it mostly looks like that now anyway, and at least the green would be gone.
Here's a Tasmanian copper token I de-greened myself with ammonia.

Apparently I have been awarded one DPOTD.

We are aware of this issue and are currently working to resolve it as quickly as possible.
As to the coin, I acquired it in the mid 1960's from a California coin dealer's foreign coin box.
It had the green stuff on it then.
I did use baking soda to clean it but nothing else.
