Help Identifying Rare Greek Ancient Coin

I can't fid a match but the only coins I have seen with the owl facing forwards with wings spread are the coins from Pontos, Amisos. Of this sort I can only find silver coins which are clearly not a match but I wonder if this is a bronze from the same place?

I have no experience with this type of coin but to me it looks a bit cartoonish.

Does anyone else think this is a modern cast?

Either is possible I think, until we can find exactly what it is supposed to be. I made a stupid statement earlier because it is obviously silver (I remember thinking how oxidised it was but that it was silver, but then when I went hunting for some reason I forgot about that...)

I hope we can find what it is supposed to be because it is an interesting design.

Tonight I'm going to meet my neighbour who is the owner and I will ask more about the origins. Also I have read in other posts that a picture of the edge is useful. I will try to take some good ones. Thanks guys for the follow up.

I thought the obverse had hair, but I am seeing a crest, not sure if it is a decorated helmet. The image appears to show teeth which is a bit unusual. A bit of soaking in distilled water and brushing with a toothbrush might give more detail.

Distilled water is the safest of all cleaning methods. Soak for a day or so. Get a toothbrush and cut the bristles so that they are half their original length, it doesn't matter if they are a bit tatty. Give the coin a good brush and put back into the distilled water. change the water if it becomes cloudy. Repeat until you are satisfied.

Don't use tap water. Distilled water has no impurities. The thought is that minerals and other stuff in the coin will leach out into the the DW making it easier to clean. Don't use anything sharp to clean it. You can use bamboo or toothpicks in the nooks and crannies, but start with the toothbrush.

A few notes:

Not all reproductions are cast. Some are struck. But before I say more I would like to see the obverse with the light at a different angle.

The odd lighting, which comes from behind the figure, does give it a "cartoonish" look. I'm not connecting it to anything recognizable this way. Perhaps if the light came from in front of the face it might be recognized.
