Description:

This collectible phone card features a visually striking front design that commemorates the Singapore Taisei International Coin, Stamp & Phonecard Convention (STICC), held in Singapore City from February 24 to 26, 1995. The background is a vibrant red, making the various elements on the card stand out sharply. At the top center, the bold, blue acronym "STICC" is prominently displayed, with a white lion head emblem to the left, symbolizing Singapore’s national identity. Directly beneath "STICC," the event title is printed in smaller white font, along with the location and dates of the convention. To the right of the acronym, the card's value is indicated as "$8," signifying its use as a prepaid phonecard.

On the left side of the card, four circular images are arranged vertically, each seemingly representing collectible items such as coins or stamps featured at the event. The top two circles display what appear to be medals or coins with inscriptions in traditional Asian script, while the bottom two showcase darker, architectural imagery, hinting at historical or cultural landmarks. These images subtly emphasize the convention’s focus on valuable collectibles.

In the central part of the card, three small rectangular images are aligned side-by-side. The first features a photograph of a man and woman dressed in formal attire, standing outdoors in a garden setting; they appear elegant, potentially representing collectors or notable figures from the convention. The second rectangle displays a vintage magazine cover—The Saturday Evening Post—with an iconic painting of a young woman in a bathing suit sitting on a wooden chair, her face animated and joyful, adding a nostalgic, artistic touch. The third rectangle shows a small identification card with a photograph of Elvis Presley, accompanied by text and symbols indicating it is an AmeriVox security ID card, introducing a pop culture element to the design.

The bottom of the card bears the phrase "Complimentary Phonecard" in white text, highlighting that this card was likely a special edition giveaway or souvenir for attendees of the STICC event. The AmeriVox logo, featuring red, white, and blue stripes reminiscent of the American flag, is positioned in the lower right corner, suggesting the issuer or sponsor.

The back side of the phone card has a more utilitarian design, primarily focused on providing essential usage information. The background is predominantly white with black text, offering step-by-step instructions for using the phonecard at various payphones, including public and coinless models. It also includes customer service details, such as a toll-free number for balance inquiries and reporting lost or stolen cards.

Additionally, the reverse side lists the terms and conditions governing the card’s use, highlighting limitations like expiration dates, non-refundable balances, and security warnings. A magnetic strip near the top indicates that the card operates via a swipe-read mechanism typical of phonecards from this era. Small print includes branding and copyright information, emphasizing the card’s official and collectible status while serving its practical purpose for telephony.
