Description

French "Télécarte 50" phone card, as shown in the photo, illustrated with an advertisement for Lipton Ice Tea. The visual features two stylized legs in motion, against a yellow and orange gradient background evoking summer, with a Lipton Ice Tea dispenser and the brand's recognizable logo on the right. The inscription "L’APPEL DU THÉ GLACÉ" (THE CALL OF ICED TEA) appears at the bottom of the card, in a blue handwritten font. The upper left corner bears the mention "Télécarte 50" in blue, typical of French phone smart cards from the 1990s to 2000s.

The golden electronic chip is clearly visible on the left side, characteristic of phone cards. The card features a colorful advertising design, with a contrasting effect between the silhouettes and the bright background, making it particularly attractive to fans of retro visuals and advertising items.

The standard rectangular format of this type of card is apparent, with rounded corners. No details are visible on the back or edges not exposed in the photo. The overall condition appears good based on the displayed front, with no major scratches or visible chips in this area.

The upper right area displays the Lipton Ice Tea logo in a blue and yellow insert, confirming the promotional nature of this phone card. The overall design, warm colors, and slogan are reminiscent of late 20th-century advertising campaigns.

Condition
