Without pictures, it will be very difficult for anyone to help you. Could you please post clear pictures of each side of your item?

This is not a real coin. It is more likely a modern gadget.

 As none of those letters are Greek, it is a modern replica, 

with dates on to show the reign. Maybe a set to collect, 

given away with say petrol. Like these for France

 Yes, must be a set, of unknown number, or issuer. 

Here is a pair - yours and a different token >

4 different ones here:

AC means “Before Christ” in portuguese (Antes de Cristo)

So it is a coin from before Christ

 

 

There is a set of roman replicas with a very similar style of reverses. I think those are in Italian, not Portuguese, but the a.C. works in Italian as well (a.C.= avanti Cristo/before Christ).

 Ah, yes, similar. Makes sense that when WRL made those Roman replicas 

they would also do the same for Greek. Thanks

 Nice find. Yes, it matches these two from earlier. Thanks!  

 I guess Winter Reproductions is connected to Westair  Reproductions … or not. 

 

 Also a reply after mine showed all four, so that must be how many there are. 

A smaller set than expected, compared to those Roman ones. 

 The other two then >
