Either the brass plating came off the underlying metal (in which case polishing will just make it worse) or the brass tarnished. You can buy a polishing cloth that should do the trick, but you'll have to be careful to not rub it on the white thread or white shirt underneath or it'll leave smudges. Personally, I'd just remove the plaque permanently, it's going to be a lot of trouble to keep it looking nice.
Here's what's in my toolkit...

20x Loupe

Cotton Tipped Applicators
Goulet Mylar Paper
Goulet Brass Sheets

Goulet Silicone Grease
! Careful with the canned air. It can be the cause of some funny and not so funny accidents.
A bright desk light with a magnifier comes in handy.
try a silver polishing cloth like this. It's probably just a brass coating over nickel, so be gentle at first to get a feel for how thin the coating is. It looks like it's just tarnish on the brass.
I'm not sure about storing but maybe try wrapping it in tissue paper or giving it a weekly polish if you have it on display?
Last one? Awesome.
btw - here's the polishing cloth I picked up. It's huge. I've cleaned both pins a good dozen times and I think I've made about 3% of the inner cloth black. heh.
I bought this when I got into this and it did a pretty fair job of getting some shine instead of haze. And like you said, it's just bullion, delivered in a pretty package. :-)

Cheers. I have silver jewelry that I polish weekly with this (It also works nicely on my brass Nemesis), so tarnish removal is no problem. Thanks for the advice.
