Description:

This collectible phone card, dedicated to an endangered species, prominently features a striking image of a zebra. On the left side, a close-up of the zebra’s head and neck showcases its iconic black-and-white stripes in vivid detail against a softly blurred green background. The zebra’s calm gaze and intricate striping immediately draw attention, highlighting the animal’s natural beauty and distinctiveness. Alongside the image, a vertical green banner runs down the edge, displaying the text “ENDANGERED SPECIES SERIES” in white, with “ZEBRA” boldly printed in capital letters in vibrant purple tones.

The right side of the card transitions to a rich purple marbled pattern, adding depth and visual contrast to the design. Near the top, a small green rectangular emblem features the outline of the African continent surrounded by yellow stars, likely symbolizing unity or conservation efforts for Africa’s wildlife. Beneath this emblem, the issue date “12/06/95” appears in yellow, marking the card’s release, while a silver serial number “0037/1500” indicates its limited-edition status. This numbering reveals that the card is the 37th of only 1,500 produced, enhancing its appeal as a collectible.

Along the right vertical edge, the denomination is prominently displayed as “$20 TELECARD” in large golden-yellow font, underscoring its monetary value and intended use. The bottom right corner features the issuer’s logo and branding, “ACMI,” designed with parallel horizontal lines that evoke speed or connectivity. Adjacent to this, the letter “D” likely denotes a specific series or card type within the ACMI collection.

Overall, this phone card functions not only as a practical telecommunications tool but also as a miniature work of art celebrating African wildlife and conservation awareness. The combination of the vivid zebra image, symbolic African motif, limited-edition numbering, and clear branding makes it a compelling collector’s item—especially for enthusiasts passionate about endangered species and African fauna. It captures a moment from the mid-1990s when phone cards were both functional and collectible, blending utility with a powerful environmental message.
