Very nice job making out the legends... I figured you would be the "closer" on this one.
I could see the VRBS A---CSV, but couldn't make out the ruler.

I'd have to guess the person that got hit for him, or the person they bought it from cleaned this coin, looks far to clean and no build up of any kind in the coin. Which is unfortunate if he ever did want to sell it. I imagine he's the kind of guy to keep it in his wallet on his health card even after I tell him this lol.

It might have been cleaned at some point, not uncommon for coins this old that can have passed through the hands of a number of collectors. It is not a big problem, for coins this old general appearance is more important than whether it has been cleaned at some point in time. It is a far worse problem that your friend keeps it in his wallet, where this thin and fragile coin may suffer irreparable damage.

It looks pretty dinged up as it is, what do you think this would be worth in CAD? Mayb if it's worth something and I tell him it will get damaged in his wallet he will take it out and maybe put it in a 2×2 or something. He isn't really interested in coins but knows I am so he shower me. He's into model ships lol.

Something like 20-40 CAD seems reasonable, maybe even more on a good day.

I carry thin coins in my wallet in coin flips, backed with a credit card or two for a hard flat surface. No bending. Done it for years.
