| Reverse description | Plain, slightly convex field bearing the single horizontal legend ARCHEODROME in bold raised Latin capital letters centered across the middle of the flan. The surrounding field is essentially devoid of additional design elements, with the irregular flan edge visible at the periphery. The simplicity of the reverse contrasts with the more complex obverse, focusing attention on the name of the issuing institution. The surface shows the characteristic texture of a cast piece. |

| Additional information |
The Archéodrome de Beaune was a roadside archaeological theme park opened in 1978 along the A6 autoroute in Burgundy, built on ground that overlooks the approximate zone of Caesar's siege works at Alésia — or at least the Burgundian candidate site, since the location of Vercingétorix's final stand remained a genuine scholarly dispute well into the late twentieth century. The park reconstructed Gaulish villages and Roman fortifications at scale. It closed permanently in 2005.
