Found some info about the coin in Wikipedia. The text there (𐤊𐤐𐤓𐤀 kpr') is Kapara, the name of the city where this was minted, modern Soluntum. And accordingly to the fashion of a civilisation that calls its own capital "new city", Kapara means simply "village".

Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!
Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.

Gotta love that timeless human imagination.
