I think its modern Fake Phoenician hemidrachm from Arados. But I recommend seeking out a specialist and certification, that's the only way to be sure.

 

Found with the same reverse, but the bust should be crowned.

 

ΘMP its the year 149 in Aradian, so 110-111 BCE

 

The coin should look like this.

 

or look like this

Reference 2

 

Reference 3

 

Reference 4

I've got one too, and I've considered it fake as well, with filed edges. It's the Arados type with Tiche and city wall headress. See description photo here: http://www.moneta-coins.com/showphoto.php?photo=1596&nocache=1

Thanks for the replies! I think I can rule this out as a fake since the edges doesn't look quite right either
