Description:

This collectible phone card showcases a striking close-up image of an iguana, an endangered species, as part of a special series dedicated to wildlife conservation. The detailed portrayal highlights the textured scales, sharp jawline contours, and the iguana’s expressive eye, which gazes intently forward. The color scheme emphasizes vibrant blues and greens against a deep, nearly black background, creating a vivid contrast that makes the reptile’s features stand out. Along the left side, the word “IGUANA” appears vertically in bold yellow letters, clearly identifying the card’s subject.

On the right side, the Mexican flag dominates the design, symbolizing the iguana’s native habitat. The flag’s crisp green, white, and red vertical stripes are accented by the detailed national emblem—an eagle clutching a snake atop a cactus—centered in the white stripe. This vibrant flag contrasts strikingly with the warm orange, textured background that resembles rugged earth, evoking the natural environment where the iguana thrives. This backdrop adds visual warmth and reinforces the connection to the animal’s ecosystem.

Key textual details are stamped in bold yellow font for clarity. The issue date, “03/15/96,” marks the card’s release in mid-March 1996, underscoring its collectible status. Below the date, the numbering “1035 / 2800” confirms its exclusivity as card number 1035 of a limited run of 2,800, enhancing its appeal to collectors. The card’s value, indicated as “$7” in prominent text near the top right corner, represents the prepaid telephone credit. Adjacent to this, the label “TELECARD” affirms the card’s function.

At the bottom right, set against the orange background, is the logo of the issuing company, ACME. Designed with a sleek, modern aesthetic for its time, the logo features outlined letters connected by horizontal lines that suggest speed and technology. This blend of a technological telecommunications product with imagery of an endangered species thoughtfully merges conservation awareness with practical use. Overall, the card is a visually compelling and meaningful collectible.
