Might be a bronze copy of a didrachm of Rhodes.
Maybe contemporary? Perhaps it originally had a silver wash, something like bronze antoninianii of late 3rd Century Roman Empire.
The OP's coin may have long since lost all of it's silver wash.
The other possibility is that is a bronze copy (fake?) of the original silver Rhodian didrachm
The plugged hole came much later; it may have been used for jewelry.
