Lovely find there John !! You have some thick concretion on the coin what is hiding a lot of the detail a light clean would make it come up lovely, but don't go rubbing it to much and ruin it, I wouldn't even use the foil trick, a nice soak for that one I think in warm water with a drop of washing liquid give it half an hour, and a soft rub with a cloth..........
It wont remove it all but it should help to make a better looking coin, if your still not happy try a little spit, more the better, as there is powerful enzymes in human spit.

I got this information out of a hammered coin book I have the cleaning processes get harsher and harsher all the way to electrolysis Smiley

Good luck if you do decide to give it a steady clean Wink Great find

Id say its worth a few more £'s now also Cheesy great cleaning job.

As Probono said its Treaty Period 1361-1369

Look just before Edward and you will see a annulet what could not be seen before cleaning that would make it Spink 1617

The legend reads EDWARD DEI G REX ANGL DNS HYB ZAQT ........Edward by the grace of god King of England Lord of Ireland and Aquitaine
