AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Detailed visual description

This French phone card, known as a "Télécarte 50", is an authentic vintage item from the 1990s. Its visible side features an abstract graphic design characteristic of the aesthetic of this period, with a predominantly yellow background, enhanced with bright blue splashes and crossed red lines, evoking a dynamic artistic composition. The matte appearance of the surface and the clear printing of the visual accentuate its retro style.

In the upper left corner, the integrated gold chip is clearly visible, accompanied by a black arrow indicating the direction of insertion into the public telephone. The inscription "TELECARTE 50" appears in the lower left corner, on a light blue background, confirming the capacity of 50 units, a standard value at the time for this type of prepaid card.

In the lower right corner, a printed date is visible: "30.09.94", suggesting printing or circulation in late 1994. No brand logo is visible on the displayed side, which highlights the clean graphics and the absence of advertising clutter typical of certain series of phone cards.

The card is displayed on a yellow textile background, which highlights its colors and overall condition. No major defects, cracks, or excessive signs of wear appear on the visible side, apart from slight marks of use compatible with a used item of this age.
