This type appears in David Sear's "Roman Coins and Their Values" Volume III, as #10252. It is part of a popular series honoring the legions which furnished troops for Emperor Gallienus' newly formed field army in the chaotic early 260's AD. They were all struck in Milan, where several years later, Gallienus would be assassinated while besieging the rebellious commander of said field army. This series is popular, and they tend to be worth multiples of the more typical antoninani of Gallienus. The only one CNG has sold recently went for a hammer price of $425! That could be an outlier, but if you search for other recent auctions for Gallienus RIC 315, you might be able to get more pricing data.
Either way, if you're going have any antoninianus of Gallienus, it would be hard to do better than that one!
