AFW - Antique France Worldwide
Description
This old telephone card, or phonecard, features an iconic aerial view of the Pointe du Raz, a remarkable natural site located in Brittany, France. The image covers almost the entire visible side, offering a coastal panorama contrasting between the green of the land and the blue of the ocean. At the top right, the inscription "LA POINTE DU RAZ : OBJECTIF 94." is clearly legible, highlighting the regional and tourist theme of this edition.
At the bottom right, the "Fondation Gaz de France" logo indicates that it is a card distributed as part of a specific operation or partnership, making it a distinctive example among French phonecards. The mention "TELECARTE 50" appears at the bottom left, indicating that it is a smart card with a capacity of 50 units, a standard format in the 90s. The golden chip characteristic of public telephone cards of that era is also visible.
The visible front shows clear and vivid colors, with graphics typical of the early to late 1990s. No major defects are visible on the photographed area: the surface appears smooth, without noticeable scratches or cracks, and the corners seem only slightly dulled. The whole stands out against a bright yellow background, which enhances the contrast of the card's colors.
The absence of other visible inscriptions or numbering suggests that it is a promotional or commemorative model, issued in a limited series for the Fondation Gaz de France. The card has a standard rectangular format, with a golden electronic chip placed on the left, typical of French phonecards of that period.
Condition
Used item, sold as is. The photographed front face has a very good overall appearance, with no apparent signs of wear.
