I can't seem to find anything about this coin. It appears and feels like stone. Lettering appears to have some Greek characters. I have no idea where this is from, but my guess is somewhere near Israel. Any guesses?

On one side with the head it looks like it says alexandros

On the other side it looks like dimitrios basileus.

Nothing obvious connects this to Israel that I can think of.

Looks like a fantasy combining a 3rd century AD Koinon obverse with a reverse from 500 years earlier, based possibly on tets of Demetrios I Poliorketes showing Poseidon holding a trident.

This appears to be a cast fantasy piece and not a real coin.
