From the obverse and the size, I'd say 3rd century antoninianus, but I wouldn't begin to guess who is on it. I've never seen a reverse like that at all. Usually the reverses have people/gods on them. Maybe its a Roman provincial rather than a Roman imperial coin? Still odd, but I know them far less. Also, I'm wondering if the lettering is Greek, rather than Latin, which would definitely make it a provincial coin.

I'm so sorry. For whatever reason, I didn't see the part of your original post which showed Greek letters. I apologize.

The reverse is a shield or bowl with the following text "iA Ω N Tp" i cant read the rest
The two last letters are necessarily the -ΩN ; which termination means “[coin] of the citiezens of”.

On the reverse.
I think that your coin is for Gallienus, as I seem to read [ΛI]KIN ΓAΛ [ΛIH]NOC on the obverse.
