AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This France Telecom chip phone card, visible in the photo, is an authentic advertising item from the 1990s. It features a side illustrated with a scene from daily life, with two characters in a warm, subdued atmosphere, typical of communication campaigns of the era. The main inscription “Téléphone, le fil de la vie.” (Telephone, the thread of life.) evokes social connection, while a note on the right specifies "EN SEMAINE LES TARIFS RÉDUITS DU SOIR COMMENCENT À 18 H 00" (WEEKDAYS EVENING DISCOUNT RATES START AT 6:00 PM).

The upper right corner indicates "TELECARTE 50", specifying that this card offered a capacity of 50 units for phone calls. The France Telecom logo, clearly visible at the bottom right, confirms the card's authenticity and origin. The visual uses warm tones (browns, golden yellows) and a glossy finish, typical of cards distributed in France in the 90s.

The electronic chip is clearly visible in the upper left corner, a characteristic element of French phone cards from this period. No details of the back are visible in the image.

The rectangular design, rounded corners, and graphic composition reflect the advertising and technical standards of the 1990s. This card is sought after for its retro look and its faithful representation of a significant era in French telecommunications.

The visible surface shows no major scratches or apparent defects; the shine and inscriptions are well preserved according to the provided photo.
