[QUOTE="Curtis, post: 6501346, member: 26430"]Found the article online! [URL]http://www.numisbel.be/2000_3.pdf[/URL] I don't know if you read French at all...

Personally, though, I think it can actually be easier reading technical materials than ordinary literature in another language (assuming you speak it to some degree from school or whatever; otherwise it's a real challenge!), since the terminology often follows closely. I studied French but stopped 20 years ago, so by now I definitely cannot speak at all fluently; but I can still do pretty well at reading an occasional numismatic source, it's just very slow-going. I found it by checking RBN in the Numiswiki on Forum Ancient Coins website, which sent me to the Revue Belge Numis. page, where I found they've got most of their issues online.
