That's a beauty of a coin! Too bad about the reverse damage. The damage was fairly recent from the looks of it, probably a staple or slipped tool. Who ever did it must have cried!
I don't think that's verdigris in the devices, it looks organic to me. I'd do a little conservation on this coin myself. I'd also probably give it the window sill retone on the reverse to try and darken up the damage becuse it's a nice coin.
