I haven't had any success identifying this, any help appreciated.  It is 20mm dia.

I think it might be diocletian coin from Alexandria ( but i not sure on 100%). What is the weigh? 

Meybe Aurelian not diocletian

It's quite thick weighs 7.88g

   [20mm / 7.88gm] 

Token collector [1600-1899] with some coins

 This - Egypt, TetraDrachm, Alexandria, Bronze - has a similar reverse

 Then from that 

N#371267 

 

 

ΑΚ Λ Δ Ο Μ ΑVΡΗΛΙΑΝΟC CЄΒ // ЄTOYC Є 

 

 Edit - translation ΑVΡΗΛΙΑΝΟC for Aurelian. 

Reverse: The inscription   ЄTOYC Є  is Greek for "Year 5" (where  Є  represents the 

Greek numeral 5). Namely the coin was struck in the fifth regnal year 

of that specific Emperor's reign (e.g., AD 273/274 for Aurelian).

 For comparison - mostly similar, but no star
