(If you do clean it with brasso use two toothbrushes, one to clean it, then buff with a cloth to polish it and the use a dry one to flick out any dried product in the lettering etc ).

Starting in 1937, the wren appeared on the reverse side rather than Britannia.In 1944, approximately 22 million were minted. Even if yours is in choice, uncirculated condition it would not have much value at all. But it is an interesting piece of history for your grandchild, Stargazer, so go ahead and clean it with any of the above methods or even a combination of them.
