Antoninianus Gordian III Imitation FIDES MILITVMIMP CAES MANT GORDIANVS
FIDES MILITVM
RIC : No number, but the prototype is RIC 1
Coin : fourree

A very unusual style. The portrait is very strange and typical. The reverse is also strange : FIDES looks like a man with a crown.
I think it's the same celator as for this other imitations (also from my collection ) :
