A chip phone card, illustrated with a portrait of Alexander Graham Bell on the front. This "Télécarte 50" type card features a color composition, with a stylized representation of the famous inventor in the foreground, and in the background, a scene evoking scientific work around the telephone. The inscription "Alexander Graham Bell" appears in gold letters on the right side, while the mention "TELECARTE 50" appears at the bottom right in a blue box. The golden electronic chip is visible on the left, characteristic of French phone cards from the 1990s onwards.
