I've done a lot of searching to try to find out where this is from and if it is a coin. Through this searching I found this website and figured it would most definitely save me time by asking. The shape seems odd and tough to identify for a newby like myself. I've been able to match some of the letters with various alphabets but not all of them to the same alphabet. Can anyone take a shot and help me out?

If it is a foreign coin I'm wondering where it's from and how old it is?

Any help is grately appreciated!

It's called a Widows Mite - bronze Judean period coin - search Widows Mite and you will see several examples. Your's does appear to be a replica.
