Description:

This collectible phone card showcases a striking close-up image of a chimpanzee, part of the endangered species series that highlights wildlife conservation. The chimpanzee’s face is rendered with intricate detail, featuring gentle eyes that captivate the viewer, framed by rich brown fur set against a dark background. Its calm and contemplative expression powerfully conveys both the majesty and vulnerability of this endangered animal. Earthy tones dominate the design, with the warm hues of the fur contrasting sharply against the dark backdrop to create an emotive portrait that commands attention.

Along the left edge, the word “CHIMPANZEE” is printed vertically in bold yellow letters on a vibrant magenta band, with the smaller inscription “ENDANGERED SPECIES SERIES” positioned above it. This colorful strip provides a vivid contrast to the card’s predominantly dark and green palette, making the text highly visible and anchoring the composition with visual balance.

Toward the right center, the card features the flag of the Central African Republic, displaying horizontal stripes of blue, white, green, and yellow intersected by a vertical red cross, with a small yellow star in the upper left blue stripe. This subtle inclusion references the chimpanzee’s natural habitat and suggests a geographic connection or origin for the card. Beneath the flag, the issue date “ISSUED 04/15/96” and serial number “1521/2800” indicate that this phone card is part of a limited edition series, enhancing its collectible appeal.

The right side of the card is dominated by a green marbled background accented with golden-yellow text. The top right corner prominently displays the card’s value as “$7” alongside the word “TELECARD,” confirming its function as a calling card. Below this is the “ACMI” logo in purple and gold, accompanied by a stylized wing design. A bold yellow letter “C” appears at the bottom right, corresponding to the series classification. Together, these elements combine practicality with commemorative significance, making the card both a functional item and an educational tribute that raises awareness about endangered wildlife and the plight of the chimpanzee.
