Coin from my backyard

[Lainezor]

I found this coin in my backyard and I can only make out the words one cent and 190-something (I think it's a 5 or a 3). Is there any way I can clean this coin without damaging it?

After some research I do believe this is what it is Coins and Canada - 1 cent 1903 - Canadian coins price guide and values
