Description:

This collectible phone card features an eye-catching design with a vibrant green background, prominently displaying a stamp-like image at its center. The stamp is labeled "GRENADA" and bears a 4-cent denomination, styled after a postage stamp from the Caribbean island nation. The image on the stamp depicts a whimsical scene: Donald Duck in mid-action, releasing doves into the air. Rendered in his classic animated style, Donald stands on bright green grass, facing right with a joyful and purposeful expression. His iconic sailor shirt with a red bow is clearly visible, and his right arm is extended, emphasizing the motion of setting the doves free.

Behind Donald, several layered elements add depth and interest. To the left, there are stacks of cardboard boxes, presumably where the doves were kept before release, adding a sense of preparation and ceremony to the scene. The background depicts a bright, sunny day with a light blue sky and a few clouds, enhancing the uplifting and peaceful themes suggested by the phrase "RELEASING THE DOVES" printed just below the stamp. This phrase symbolically represents peace and freedom, as doves traditionally do. The Olympic torch resting atop the stacked boxes further emphasizes the theme of international goodwill, as doves are often released during Olympic ceremonies to symbolize peace.

The phone card itself is branded as an "$8 PhilaTELECARD," indicating its value and association with a telecommunications service, possibly used for payphone calls. The upper right corner notes "patent pending," suggesting that this design or technology was innovative at the time of issue. Released in September 1995, as indicated by the "ISSUED 09/1495" notation, it qualifies as a mid-90s collectible. Additionally, the card features a limited edition number—00000 out of 12,000—located just above the ACMI logo, which enhances its collectible appeal by marking its rarity within a specific print run.

On the back side, the card contains standard telecard elements, including several white blocks for information and instructions. The top section displays the number 30, which may indicate remaining units or a code relevant to its telecommunication use. Below that, "PHILA TELECARD" is printed in bold black text on a white background strip, reinforcing the brand. There is also a space labeled "Issued / Delivered by," followed by small white panels likely intended for date stamping or other annotations necessary for validation or recharging. The back's clean, practical design contrasts with the colorful, artistic front, highlighting the phone card’s dual role as both a functional device and a collectible item.
