AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This telephone card, known as a Télécarte, is a 50-unit chip card. The front features an illustrated portrait of Guglielmo Marconi, a historical figure in radio, accompanied by stylized representations of old telecommunication devices. The entire visual is set against a satin-sheen brown/gray background, with a sober and clear layout.

In the upper left, "Télécarte 50" is displayed in white letters on a rectangular background, indicating the unit capacity. Just below, the golden electronic chip is clearly visible, characteristic of French telephone cards from the 90s. To the right, the name "Guglielmo Marconi" is printed in white, with an elegant typography.

Marconi's portrait occupies the central right part of the card, depicted in a green suit and purple tie, illustrating the graphic aesthetic typical of commemorative phone cards from the late 20th century. Below the portrait, two illustrations of technical devices evoke his inventions and work in the field of wireless telegraphy.

The entire card is in very good visual condition on the displayed side: the visual remains clear, without major scratches, and the chip is neatly inserted. No significant defects are observable on this side. The photographic support, a golden fabric, highlights the card and its colors.

Condition

Used item sold as is. The visible side is in very good overall condition, with no discoloration or notable defects.
