The pictures are too blurry, but at first sight I wouldn't rule out Phoenicia or Carthage.

Here are some better (hopefully) pictures. I'm pretty sure it's greek. I can't make out the writing on the back but it looks greek. I should have also said earlier that it is 3 mm thick

The new pictures are same quality as the others.
Too blurred, too dark. I did what I could with them; maybe they will help ...

​Changing the lighting (maybe natural light) and taking photos under an angle would help with that.
I collect and deal in ancient Roman coin. In case you're looking for affordable ancient coins or need any help with the coins you already have send me a message.

Its not Greek, per se, its Kushan

Of course size matters as the denominations are varying. I haven't fully attributed these coins yet:

That's it. No wonder I couldn't find it, it's Indian
