Looks like one of the 30 pieces of silver as mentioned in the Bible: Phoenicia, Tyre. Silver half shekel with head of Melqart. The diameter of such a coin would be between 22 and 24mm and weigh just under 7 grams.

It's the diamiter of a U.S. quarter but thicker. I don't have a proper measuring tool. It weighs 12.3 grams.

US quarter weighs 24.3 grams. Instead of a half shekel your coin is a full shekel.
It is sometimes described as a Greek Syria coin.

Any clue on what era it came from?

If behind the eagle's head the initials are 'KP', the date range would be between 18 BC and 66 AD; otherwise the date range was expanded.
