summary
Cappadocia (Kapotkia) a province of Asia Minor (today, Central Anatolia, Turkey) issued its own currency. This is addressed in the Mishnah in Kethuboth (13:11): If a woman moved from Israel to Kapotkia or vice versa, is the money for her Kethubah paid according to the monies of Israel or of Kapotkia?
This lot includes both coins referenced in the Mishnah.
