Description:

This collectible phone card showcases a striking close-up image of a young chimpanzee, emphasizing its expressive face and soulful dark eyes that engage the viewer with a sense of connection and empathy. The chimpanzee’s fur, a rich deep brown with reddish highlights around the face, accentuates the texture and natural details of the animal. Positioned against a black background on the left side of the card, the image stands out vividly. Above it, the phrase “ENDANGERED SPECIES SERIES” is printed vertically in white on a magenta strip, while the bold yellow text “CHIMPANZEE” runs horizontally below, providing clear context and emphasis.

To the right of the chimpanzee image, the card features the flag of the Central African Republic in the upper middle section. The flag’s colorful horizontal and vertical stripes—blue, white, green, yellow, and red—are complemented by a single yellow star in the top left corner, symbolizing the nation linked to this collectible. Just below the flag, the issuance date “04/15/96” appears in a golden-yellow font that contrasts sharply with the green marble-like background. Beneath the date, a unique serial number, “0328/5000,” is printed in black, indicating this card is part of a limited edition series of only 5,000 copies.

On the far right, the card’s denomination is prominently displayed as “$3” in bright yellow, accompanied by the vertically oriented word “TELECARD.” The vibrant yellow color ensures these details stand out against the darker backdrop, making the card’s monetary value and telecommunications function immediately clear. Near the bottom, the ACMI logo appears in a colorful design of pink and yellow stripes, adding corporate branding to the collectible. A gold letter “C” is positioned near the bottom right corner, likely denoting the card’s type or series.

Overall, the card’s design skillfully balances visual emphasis on the endangered chimpanzee—highlighting conservation awareness—with its practical role as a $3 prepaid phone card connected to Central African Republic themes. The use of bold colors, crisp typography, and a textured background creates a distinctive, polished appearance, while the limited edition serial number enhances its appeal to collectors. This phone card not only served a functional purpose but also stands as a meaningful collectible piece.
