Description:

This collectible phone card showcases a striking image of an Indian elephant standing in shallow water beneath a vivid blue sky filled with dramatic clouds. As part of the endangered species series, the elephant is rendered in exquisite detail, highlighting its large curved tusks, textured gray skin, and gently flapping ears that convey its majestic and powerful presence. The subtle reflection of the elephant in the water creates a serene, natural scene that evokes its native habitat and underscores the urgent need for conservation.

Along the left edge, the card features the text “ENDANGERED SPECIES SERIES” in white, with “INDIAN ELEPHANT” boldly highlighted in yellow, emphasizing the theme of wildlife preservation. On the right side, a deep reddish-brown marbled background adds a warm, earthy tone that complements the elephant’s natural hues while drawing attention to the card’s monetary value and official status. The bold yellow lettering of "$100 TELECARD" signals its high denomination, highlighting its significance both as a collectible and a functional phone card.

Centered above the issuance date, “ISSUED 11/06/95,” the national flag of India is prominently displayed. The tricolor of saffron, white, and green horizontal stripes, featuring the navy blue Ashoka Chakra wheel at its center, directly links the subject to its regional origin. This detail reminds collectors that the Indian elephant symbolizes the country’s rich biodiversity. The issuance date situates the card in the mid-1990s, offering a nostalgic glimpse into the era’s telecommunication and wildlife conservation efforts.

In the bottom right corner, the production number "012/200" denotes the card’s limited-edition status, enhancing its rarity and appeal among collectors. The “ACMI” logo, rendered with diagonal gold lines and a trademark symbol, identifies the manufacturer or distributor. Together, these design elements—including thoughtful typography, balanced composition, and symbolic imagery—create a carefully curated collectible that honors the endangered Indian elephant while celebrating India’s natural heritage and flag, making it a meaningful keepsake for animal lovers and collectors alike.
