Acetone will get that off easily, there shouldn't be too much damage underneath. Only worth about 75 cents anyway.

Soak in WD40 for a few minutes.
The green will wipe off easily.

But don't necessarily expect the surfaces underneath to look uniform and attractive.

Looks like someone has already been naughty and tried to scrape off whatever it is, not implying it was you Joe.

It will have a mottled toning look after the removal...leave it on a window sill for awhile to see if the obverse can re-tone to something acceptable.
