Awesome!!!
I agree with Carthago- tell CNG and my bet is that they'll let you return it (unless it was part of a group lot). This isn't buyer's remorse, but...
Ah, I thought you meant the whitish semicircle outside of that area. Maybe it was a tough spot that was smoothed. The surface there looks lower...
Smoothing and tooling happens with silver but this looks more like PVC residue or something.
Maybe the griffin is a psychopomp (conveyor of souls)? It sometimes operated as one in Roman times. How Apollo fits in I don't know.

Thanks for all the comments. Apparently Gelo was at Syracuse when this was struck, so it was issued under Hieron.
Actually that is the reverse!
The archaic tetradrachms of Gela were the types that initially sparked my interest in the man-faced bull, so it is truly surprising that this is...
There are more but these are the best. Some of the Campanian types, although rare, are pretty rough. Like this one, probably a Samnite imitation...
Sileraians, Potamikon plate: [ATTACH]
