Coin cleaned or not?

Hi everyone,

The seller of this coin (online) said this coin wasn't cleaned to his knowledge.

It's a bronze coin, this one: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces1117.html

Seeing it before me, I rather doubt this, looking at the blueish spots...

What do you think, cleaned or not?

Best,
Willem



it's cleaned (maybe not by him)

Hello, the coin is not the one you have in the link, but this:  https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces1117.html

Looks cleaned, but I don't see any damage, if you let it outside in a humid place it will get a dark patina again and the discoloration will be covered :)

It doesn´t look polished but it looks as though it has been cleaned under water with using some kind of chemical before that maybe with (Dishwasher liquid?)

Looks like some form
Of chemical clean to achieve the odd toning etc still not bad considering cleaning coins 100 years ago was common place :)
Ok, suspicion confirmed. Many thanks all of you!
With those funky colours it's definitely had some form of chemical on it at some time.
True, I still quite like it though.
