AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This card, visible in the photo, is a chip telecard, in credit card format, featuring an illustration of a rural autumn landscape. The front of the card shows a countryside scene with trees with orange and green foliage, fields, and hills in the background under a clear blue sky. The inscription "Télécarte 50" appears in the bottom left, indicating a capacity of 50 units, typical of French telephone cards distributed from the 1980s-1990s. The electronic chip is clearly visible on the left, characteristic of French telecards of the era.

The card's surface reflects a smooth, shiny plastic print, without noticeable scratches or marks on the front. The corners are rounded, as is customary for this type of item. The landscape photograph highlights the autumn season, with dominant warm tones and a strong contrast between the trees and agricultural land.

No specific brand, serial number, or operator mention is legible on the visible side, with the exception of the generic term "Télécarte 50". The image is clear, with good rendering of natural colors. The general appearance evokes French telecard productions from the late 20th century, often issued in thematic series (landscapes, regions, monuments).

This type of card was intended for use in public telephone booths, but it is now sought after as a vintage item and a testament to the evolution of communication methods. The photographed object is presented on a golden yellow textile background that enhances its colors.

The visible side shows no major defects or significant signs of wear, which is notable for this type of old medium. No elements on the back are visible in the photo; the description is strictly limited to the front side.

Condition

Did you know? Chip telecards were introduced in France as early as 1983, revolutionizing access to public telephone booths. They were produced in multiple thematic series, and some limited editions have become true icons of French utilitarian design.
