The visible side shows an electronic chip inserted on the left side, typical of French smart cards used in the 1990s. The inscription \"Télécarte 50\" appears in the bottom left in a box, indicating the call unit capacity, information sought after by enthusiasts of old telecommunications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe card boasts a simple and distinctive design: the stylized portrait of Robert Keller, in a dark suit with a tie, is highlighted by a blue halo effect around his face, enhancing the contrast with the background. On the right, the name \"Robert Keller\" is inscribed in clearly legible white letters. The entire visual is rendered predominantly in blue tones, with touches of pink and beige for the face, emphasizing the graphic style characteristic of télécartes issued in the late 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe gold and silver chip is clearly visible, with its exposed circuits and the white directional icon next to it, characteristic of French smart phone cards.
