Description

Chip phone card, Télécarte 50 units model, issued for the Bollé brand. The visible side features a black and white advertising visual depicting a person wearing sports glasses, typical of 1990s graphic style. On the left side, a red vertical band bears the inscription "Télécarte 50". The "Bollé" logo appears in bright red in the center, accompanied by the mention "50 frs de réduction*" (50 francs discount*) in black. The golden chip is clearly visible in the lower part of the card, confirming that it is a chip model, used for French telephone booths.

The card has a rectangular shape with rounded corners, classic for French phone cards. The design alternates shades of gray and red graphic elements, reinforcing its advertising and vintage character. The surface appears slightly satiny, with some visible traces or marks of use under grazing light, but no major chips.

The graphic design highlights the sporty and dynamic side of the Bollé brand, which specializes in eyewear and protective equipment for sports. The inscription "voir au dos" (see on back) is present at the bottom right, but only the front is visible in the photo.

This type of phone card was often distributed for commercial promotions or as an advertising medium. All visual elements (chip, logo, colored band) correspond to the standards of French phone cards from the 1990s, a period when these objects were commonly used before the advent of mobile phones.

The card shows signs of use, with some traces or light scratches visible on the front, but maintains good readability of the image and inscriptions.
