Apparently Göbl 1665n, citing one spec. from an article by Roger Bland, illustrated pl. 119, different rev. die but probably same obv. die as yours.

At least three obverse dies with gamma under bust exist for this serie of the last antiochene issue of Gallienus : this one,  one in Kunker auction 21 (March 1992) and one in Ritter’s list (April 1997).
