It is a Balkan area Roman provincial "Koinon" issue under Gordian III or Severus Alexander depicting Alexander The Great and a legend showing his name. I can't make out the reverse, but this should give you plenty of clues to further research the coin.

 

Here's some that I found online. They match your coin to an extent.
