Looks like Athenian drachma  or something like this. What is the size and weight?

I checked the site, it's seems close but having a detailed look the Owl side the legs are different and the feathers are different.

Thank you for your time in looking, I now have a much better idea of what the coin details are. I appreciate your time and help. Thank you gazer.
