Description:

This collectible phone card, issued by New York Telephone, features a striking and stylized image of the Statue of Liberty’s head rendered in a vivid orange hue against a crisp sky-blue background. The statue’s iconic crown spikes extend dramatically along the card’s upper and right edges, boldly framing the design. The sharp contrast between the deep orange and light blue creates a visually arresting effect that evokes patriotic themes and underscores the card’s significance as a collectible tied to the 1992 Democratic National Convention.

In the upper left corner, the card’s value is prominently displayed as $5.25 in a blue typeface that stands out while complementing the background. Just below, the words “COIN REPLACEMENT CARD” appear in small black font, indicating the card’s original purpose as a substitute for coins in public telephones. A detailed scale beneath this marks the remaining balance from zero up to $5.25, with fine increments noted at each dollar and quarter, emphasizing its role as prepaid currency for pay phones.

The left side text highlights the card’s historical and political significance. “New York Telephone” is printed in solid black, anchoring the issuer’s identity. Below it, “Change Card™” is bolded to emphasize the product branding. The most prominent text reads “DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION” in all capital letters and royal blue, directly linking the card to the 1992 Democratic Party gathering. The year “1992” appears underneath, with “19” in blue matching the convention text and “92” in bright red, accentuating the election year’s importance in American political history.

Cataloged as number 205B and associated with the Landis & Gyr (L&G) company, this phone card is a compact yet meaningful collectible that embodies American political and cultural heritage. The Statue of Liberty, a timeless symbol of freedom and democracy, perfectly complements the card’s commemoration of a major political event. It serves both as a functional prepaid telephone currency of its era and as a cherished keepsake for collectors interested in Americana, national monuments, and political memorabilia connected to the Democratic Party’s early 1990s activities.
