AFW - Antique France Worldwide
Description
A French chip phone card, presented on a plain background and captured in close-up. The main visual shows a young boy in summer attire (orange t-shirt, blue shorts, matching cap) with a blue backpack, leaning back on a stylized phone booth. The background features a vibrant green color, typical of late 1990s graphic designs. At the bottom right, "Télécarte 50" appears on a blue band, indicating the card's capacity. The golden electronic chip is clearly visible on the bottom right of the card, a signature feature of public use phone cards from that era.
The overall graphic design and layout clearly evoke the 90s, both in the choice of colors and the character's clothing style. The card has rounded contours, with a smooth and shiny surface, typical of laminated chip cards used in French phone booths.
No brand logo is explicitly legible apart from the mention "Télécarte 50"; however, the design and typology indicate a card issued for the French market, likely by France Télécom. No other text or serial number appears on the visible side. The dynamic illustration highlights the youthful and modern use of public telephony at that time.
The card is photographed resting on an orange-red velvet armchair, in front of a yellow curtain, which makes its bright colors stand out. No major defects are visible on the displayed surface: the general condition appears good, with no noticeable scratches or marks on the illustrated side.
Condition
Used item, sold as is. The visible side shows good preservation, without excessive signs of wear.
