The Gallienus (first coin) is not pure silver and has a LOT of copper in it. Mechanical cleaning will scratch the coin. A MILD acid (dilute vinegar or dilute lemon juice) is the best but slow approach. An acid will eat at the large amount of copper in the coin so a slow process with close monitoring is best, scraping with wooden toothpicks as you go to avoid scratching the surface.
