Visual Description

This phone card, known as a Télécarte, features an advertisement for the Keno game. On the visible side, the light blue background is enlivened by a humorous drawing depicting a character absorbed in their game, crossing the street on yellow skis, while a car appears in the background. In the upper right, the "Keno" logo is clearly visible on a red background, accompanied by the slogan "Quand on joue, on joue." The inscription "Télécarte 50" is in the bottom right, indicating the card's initial unit capacity.

The card includes a gold chip on the left, characteristic of French telecommunications from the 1990s. The edges are rounded, and the surface has a smooth appearance typical of laminated cards from that era. The main colors are pastel blue, the yellow of the skis, and some touches of gray and white for secondary elements. No major wear is visible in the photo; the card shows good visual preservation for a used item.

The inscriptions are perfectly legible on the displayed side, without scratches or apparent alterations. The graphic style, both simple and evocative, recalls French advertising campaigns from the late 1990s to early 2000s, a period during which this type of advertising phone card was frequently distributed.

The card's standard format, the presence of the electronic chip, and the mention "Télécarte 50" confirm that it is indeed a phone card from France Télécom, formerly used in public phone booths or compatible landlines.

This type of card is highly sought after for its collector and retro appeal, particularly due to the Keno advertising theme, an iconic game from Française des Jeux.
