The upper right corner is adorned with a blue cartouche featuring "TELECARTE 50" in white letters. The golden chip, typical of French telecommunications in the 1990s, is clearly visible on the left side, near a blue triangle pointing towards the inside of the card.

The entire visible surface is white, with clear printing and colorful contrasts between the graphic elements and inscriptions.
