50-unit vintage sunset palm trees phone card rare collection

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This phone card, visible in the photo, is an authentic 1990s telephone object, identifiable by its characteristic design and integrated electronic chip. The front features a carefully crafted illustration of a tropical sunset, with black palm trees in silhouette against an orange sea and bright sky. The visual atmosphere evokes exotic destinations, enhanced by the warm palette of yellows, oranges, and browns, and a reflection effect on the water. The inscription "Télécarte 50" appears in a white box at the bottom left, indicating an original capacity of 50 units.

Promotional text occupies the right side of the card, written in white, which mentions a number to call (36.65.7000*) and refers to gambling games such as Loto, Loto Sportif, and Keno. The cursive typography of the message, combined with the landscape graphics, gives the card a style that is both advertising and evocative of the late 20th century. The standard electronic chip, positioned on the left, confirms that this is a French phone card from the period when this medium was in common use.

The card has a glossy and smooth appearance, typical of laminated phone cards from that era. No brand logo is visible on the front, but the structure and style are consistent with productions by France Télécom or commercial partners related to the distribution of gambling games. The graphic motif is clear, without apparent defects, and the corners are rounded, in accordance with the usual format of telephone smart cards.

The visible side shows no noticeable wear or major scratches, which indicates careful preservation. The surface displays a beautiful shine under light, with no obvious signs of excessive handling. The card is photographed outdoors, placed on a wooden support that enhances its warm colors and retro graphics.

Condition
