Visual description

This phone card, visible in the photo, is a chip-enabled phone card issued by France Telecom. The front features a predominantly blue graphic design, enhanced by a cloudy sky pattern in the background. The main inscription "Call home" occupies most of the surface, in large, semi-transparent letters. In the upper right corner is the mention "Télécarte 50", indicating an original capacity of 50 units. In the lower left, the electronic chip characteristic of memory phone cards from the 1990s can be seen. The inscription "Pour appeler chez vous" (To call home) is printed in white, followed by the "France Telecom" logo and name on the lower right.

The card is rectangular with rounded corners, typical of French phone cards from this period. The visual is clear, with a glossy finish that slightly reflects light. No serial number or additional details are visible on the front shown. The overall impression evokes a modern graphic style for its time, with a clean layout and a varied blue palette, reinforced by the contrast of the white text and the cloudy background.

The golden chip inserted on the left is clearly visible and typical of the memory cards used in public phone booths. The card shows no major signs of wear, according to the photo, apart from some surface reflections. The inscriptions are perfectly legible and the graphic design is intact.
