AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Visual Description

This phone card, also known as a télécarte, features a typical 1990s design with a dominant matte red and a visible golden electronic chip in the upper left corner. The main inscription, in large black letters, reads "7 000 F. TTC chez CITROËN FELIX FAURE," making it a distinctive promotional item. In the lower right part of the card is a detailed visual of a gray Citroën XM, accompanied by the white double chevron Citroën logo. The mention "TELECARTE 50" appears on a black background, indicating the card's capacity (50 phone units).

The card's design is enhanced by additional inscriptions such as "moi j'♥…" (I ♥...) and the visible license plate on the car, reinforcing the item's promotional aspect. The printing is crisp, with well-defined contrasts between the red background, the white and black elements, and the car's photograph. No major wear is visible on the front face, although slight handling marks or micro-scratches may appear at certain angles, typical for an old phone card.

The card has a smooth, glossy finish that reflects light, typical of French chip cards from that era. The precise alignment of the chip is notable, characteristic of genuine original France Télécom phone cards. The entire visual is printed on a rectangular plastic-like medium with rounded corners, with no explicit material mention on the card itself or in the keywords.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The visible side shows good overall preservation, with no apparent structural defects in the photo. Slight traces of use possible, consistent with the age and use of a vintage phone card.

Did you know? Chip télécartes appeared in France in the early 1980s and were very successful until the widespread adoption of mobile phones. Promotional editions, such as those dedicated to Citroën, were often distributed during commercial operations or at certain dealerships, and have become iconic memorabilia of 80s-90s French culture.
