French Telecom 50-unit vintage 90s phone card, advertising illustration

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description
This listing is for a France Telecom chip phone card, with a capacity of 50 units. The item features a front side illustrated with a typical 90s advertising scene: two people in a warm atmosphere, bathed in golden and amber tones. The card is marked "TELECARTE 50" at the top right and displays the slogan "Téléphone, le fil de la vie." (Telephone, the thread of life.) on the lower part. To the right, there is also the inscription "EN SEMAINE LES TARIFS RÉDUITS DU SOIR COMMENCENT À 18 H 00" (WEEKDAY EVENING DISCOUNT RATES START AT 6:00 PM), as well as the historic France Telecom logo at the bottom right.

The visible surface has a glossy finish, with color printing faithful to the advertising iconography of the era. The golden electronic chip is well integrated on the left, characteristic of French chip phone cards. The overall graphics, typography, and color codes (golden yellow, brown, blue) recall the style of advertising and utilitarian objects of the 1990s in France.

A central photograph shows a woman and a man, both elegantly dressed, standing in a cozy interior setting, typical of France Telecom communication visuals from this period. The inscription "France Telecom" and the associated pictogram are clearly visible in a blue and white cartouche.

The card has a rectangular structure with rounded corners, a standard format for French phone cards of this generation. No major defects are visible on the displayed side: homogeneous colors, legible text, chip without apparent signs of oxidation.

Condition
Used item, sold as is. The visible side shows no deep scratches or major alterations; the print remains clear and the chip appears intact in the photo.

Did you know? The first chip phone cards were introduced in France in the early 1980s, revolutionizing public access to telephones.
