Hello i have this here ancient greek copper/bronze coin the obverse having only what looks like a females portrait on it and the reverse having an owl and tapestry looking background

 

It weights 4.86g

 

The lenght is 19.01-19.94g

 

Would that be it?

 

👉 Æ19 - Antiochos VIII and Cleopatra III

 

At least it looks like a variant of the same, but I can't read the legends easily.

i can try taking better pics if that helps of the owl side

Yes, with better pictures the legends would be easy to read.

 

Ancient dies were carved manually. Everyone is different. The blanks, too, can vary significantly in size, weight, and shape. 

 

If this is not the same type as your coin, it is definitely in the same family of types. I didn't compare weight and diameter, but thought that your coin at least will be from the same issuing authority (unless an ancient copy).

Let me know of these are better

From what I can read of the legend, it's a match. Note for example the letters KAI below the type. This means “and” and the whole legend translates “[coin] of Queen Cleopatra and of King Antiochos”.

 

The diameter is also a match, though yours is a little broader.

 The three new pictures are all of one side. 

Even then, would be better if taken outside.
