    The first is about coins of the Bosporus. The title probably translates to "Money of the Bosporus", or something like that. If I run across more information I'll post it here :)

    The book with the front-facing portrait is:

    Anochin B.A., Coins of the Ancient Greek Cities of the Northern Black Sea
    Coastal Line
    . Kiev 1989. Hardcover, 125pp., 32 b/w plates, Russian text.

    The one with three coins is:

    Title: Монетное дело Боспора (Monetary business Bospor)
    Author: В.А. Анохин (VA Anokhin)
    Наукова думка, 1986.- 184 с., 40 pages.

    A translated description: "The monograph VA Anokhin studied coinage of the Bosporus from the appearance of coinage in the VI. BC. to its termination in the IV. BC It summarizes significant in terms of the numismatic material from the world's largest assembly and scattered in various publications. Ordering of coins allowed a new approach to solving a number of controversial issues Bosporus numismatics. VA Book Anokhin - a member of the Institute of Archaeology of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR is designed for historians, archaeologists, museum professionals, coin collectors, teachers and students of historical faculties."

    Thanks guys! One additional question: Are these written in Belarusian, Bulgarian, Rusyn, Ukrainian or Russian Cyrillic? And does anyone know a link to a Cyrillic to English keyboard I can use to translate some of the information contained in these references?

    There are some very interesting Ancient and Medieval coins pictured in these books, but without a means to translate the information I am at a loss with the Cyrillic descriptions.
