Description:

This collectible phone card showcases a striking image of a black rhinoceros standing amid lush green grass. The rhino appears poised and alert, facing forward with its thick, textured gray skin contrasting vividly against the vibrant greenery beneath it. The background gently transitions from pale blue to white, evoking the impression of a cloudy sky. On the left side, bold green and black text declares "ENDANGERED SPECIES SERIES" and “BLACK RHINO,” immediately highlighting the animal’s status as a protected species at risk of extinction.

Occupying the right half of the card is a solid red background that serves as a backdrop for key details. In the top right corner, the denomination “$7” is printed in bright yellow, with the word "TELECARD" positioned just below. Centered within this red panel is the national flag of Mozambique, featuring horizontal stripes of green, black bordered by white, and yellow, alongside a red triangle containing a star, book, hoe, and AK-47 silhouette. Below the flag, the issuance date "01/06/96" is clearly stamped, accompanied by the serial number "0582/2800," signifying its limited edition status.

In the lower right corner, the issuing company’s logo, ACMI, appears in yellow with a stylized parallel line design that suggests speed and connectivity—typical of 1990s telecommunications branding. A small white letter "S" is located at the very bottom right, likely indicating a series or batch identifier. The overall layout skillfully balances informative and aesthetic elements, blending wildlife photography with collectible phone card details in a compact, visually appealing format.

Issued in 1996, this phone card is part of the "Endangered Species Series," created to raise awareness and foster appreciation for vulnerable animals like the black rhino. The inclusion of Mozambique’s flag connects the card both geographically and culturally, implying it was intended for use or sale in that country, where black rhinos are native. Beyond its function as a prepaid telephone card, it serves as an educational piece and collectible, reflecting the mid-1990s era when phone cards were popular for communication and memorabilia alike.
