This phone card, shown in the photo, is a "Mémophone 3672" model with a chip, issued in France. It features a typical 1990s graphic design, characterized by a multicolored background composed of abstract shapes, geometric patterns, and vivid artistic touches. The inscription "Mémophone" appears at the top in stylized white letters, accompanied by the large number "3672" in the center, which reinforces the identifiable character of this card.
In the bottom left corner, the mention "Télécarte 120 unités" (Phone card 120 units) is displayed in a black box, indicating the standard format of this chip phone card used in French public phone booths. The stylized "m" logo, associated with the Mémophone range, is visible in the top left near the golden chip, typical of telecommunications technology from that period.
The visible side shows a glossy, plastic-like surface, with no major scratches or apparent chips, although slight traces of use may be observed depending on the angle of the light. The colors are clear, with dominant blues, yellows, reds, and blacks, and a dynamic composition that reflects the graphic style of the 1990s. No structural defects are visible on the front.
This type of chip card, known as a "télécarte," was commonly used in France before the advent of mobile phones. The number 3672 is clearly legible and occupies a central position, enhancing the visual's originality. The card is presented on a yellow fabric background, highlighting the vibrancy of its patterns.
Only one side of the card is visible in the photo; no information is provided about the back or the unseen edges. The overall condition of the front is satisfactory for a vintage card, with good preservation of colors and gloss.
