This collectible phone card serves as a vibrant tribute to Alabama, themed around the "Quarter Bears™" series. The front features two plush teddy bears, meticulously crafted to resemble the Alabama state quarter issued in 2003. The bear on the left faces forward, with a predominantly gray body, black eyes, and a black nose. It is adorned with detailed embroidery, including the American flag on its left foot and a red figure on its right foot. On its chest, a patch embroidered with "Alabama 1819" is complemented by the number "22" stitched in red and white, commemorating Alabama’s admission as the 22nd state in 1819. The bear on the right, positioned with its back to the viewer, displays a bold red cross on its back, mirroring Alabama’s flag—a crimson St. Andrew's cross on a white background.
The background of the image is a solid, vibrant orange that makes the gray bears stand out sharply, creating a striking visual contrast. To the right of the bears, the text "QUARTER BEARS™ Alabama 1819" appears in white, with the phrase "COMMORATIVE PREPAID PHONE CARDS" highlighted in yellow beneath it, lending an official and collectible feel. Below this, a detailed depiction of the Alabama state quarter coin is featured, prominently displaying Helen Keller, a notable Alabamian and historical figure, along with inscriptions celebrating the state’s heritage. The coin’s surface is rendered with a metallic texture that contrasts beautifully against the matte orange background of the card.
In terms of design, the card incorporates AT&T branding, with the company's globe logo and the text "5 minute AT&T Phone Card" positioned on the bottom right. This indicates the card’s purpose and its validity within the U.S., Canada, and the Caribbean. The layout balances playful, collectible imagery with practical information, emphasizing its dual role as both a functional phone card and a commemorative keepsake. The entire front exudes a nostalgic, state-pride aesthetic with a toy-like charm, appealing to collectors and Alabama enthusiasts alike.
On the back, the design shifts to practicality, featuring instructions and terms for use. A magnetic strip runs horizontally near the top, essential for activating the card. Below, clear and concise instructions guide the user through dialing procedures, usage restrictions, and how to check remaining balance. Additional fine print provides details on usage limits and customer service contact information. The text is carefully formatted to maximize clarity and usability within the limited space, balancing technical details with readability. While the back is simpler in design compared to the front, it functions as an operational complement, making this collectible both functional and visually appealing.
