Comments

The token is minted by Pichard Balme in Saumur, a subsidiary of Arthus Bertrand since its takeover in 1999.

The Museo Parc Alesia was designed to commemorate what really happened at Alesia. It is structured around three sites:
the Museum, which presents the history of Alesia from prehistory to the present day,
the remains of the Gallo-Roman town of Alesia,
the statue of Vercingetorix erected by Napoleon III.
