Looks like a barbarous radiate (unofficial copy of a roman coin by a local tribe) to me. Probably third century. These were usually of no actual emperor but were used as coinage made locally rather than an official mint.

I agree with benny. The info given re these on UKDFD is this:

’Barbarous radiates’ are unofficial copies, most usually of the emperors, Claudius II, Tetricus I and Tetricus II. They were produced mainly during the 270s and 280s AD, when regular coinage was in short supply after the re-conquest of the breakaway Gallo-Roman Empire.

ye would plump for tetricus 11,(pius esuvius tetricus)270-273.
The son of tetricus1,he was given the rank of caesar at the time of his fathers,s accession and,following the abdication of his father,his life was spared by aurelian and he spent the rest of his days as a private citizen.
