Still ignorant: I would like to understand how such tone originated on a 50yr old nickel coin; was it briefly treated/exposed in some way or long-term stored in special conditions?

I'm not sure how it happened either. "long term stored"- yes. Here is how I got it. From a 50-60 world coin stash from my wife's passed away grandmother. There were large Can. cents, British silver, Can. silver, American Peace dollar and others all mixed together in a little box. I thought of it being AT, but talked myself out of it when I figured grandma had it tucked away for far to long. But, you just never know.

(edit) It has a slight die rotation too..

My wife showed me this colorful 1967 Roosevelt dime she received in change.

I was so thrilled that she thought to show it to me. Normally, she doesn't have any interest in coins.

It made my day!

. very nice !

here is an old brass token from France, featuring a crowned dolphin on the reverse

"dauphin" was the title given to the oldest son of the king of France
the token was made to celebrate the birth of Louis de France in 166

compared to another example
https://www.cgbfr.com/dauphine-loui...81288,a.html
the tone of the piece shown below is quite nice; it made my day when I picked it up
