Go to acsearch.info, I found similar ones attributed to Amphipolis mint, lifetime issue under Antipater. A lot of Alexander's coins were struck posthumously.

Spence Moderator United States 34396 Posts	Posted 10/28/2023 06:21 am Ok yes I had been thinking this coin was only issued in silver, but seem to have been wrong about that. See this example on acsearch for comparison: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=2606431 Hopefully someone more knowledgeable can weigh in on your coin.
