According to Ed Flinn's Gallienus-page *, this one's Göbl 1668k.

Actually Ed Flinn's page has a useful refinement on the Göbl 1668i ID; he has an additional entry for "Göbl 1668ierr," his own flag for the erroneous legend displayed on your coin, not IOVI CONSERVAT but IOVI CONSERAVT.  But according to Ed it's still Antioch
