On the front, two round crackers are illustrated, each displaying an expressive face: one with a sad expression, the other smiling, accompanied by biscuit crumbs, illustrating the product's evolution. The inscription \"NOUVEAUX CRACKERS BELIN. LES MÊMES… EN MEILLEUR.\" (NEW BELIN CRACKERS. THE SAME… BUT BETTER.) appears in white letters on a vibrant blue and orange background, highlighting the card's advertising and retro aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the upper left, the Belin logo is clearly visible, characterized by its typical 90s brand graphic design. On the right side, a vertical band indicates \"Télécarte 50,\" specifying the card's capacity (50 units), a classic feature of French phone cards from that period. The golden electronic chip, positioned on the left, is integrated into the surface, following the standard for chip cards used in public telephony at that time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe card is rectangular with rounded corners, and a white background that highlights the graphic elements. The main colors are white, orange, and blue, with black details for the facial expressions and inscriptions. The graphic style, the humor of the faces, and the typography confirm an advertising aesthetic typical of the early to late 1990s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis type of advertising phone card was frequently used to promote major French brands, particularly in the food sector. The front shows no excessive wear, although slight traces of use may be present, which is common for this type of vintage item.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe chip is intact and the visual remains clearly legible, with no major apparent discoloration. No details of the back are visible in the provided photo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.
