Description:

These collectible phone cards commemorate the year 1997, the Year of the Ox in the Chinese zodiac. Both cards feature a vibrant red ox adorned with colorful floral designs and decorative patterns. Behind the ox on each card is a prominent large orange Chinese character in a calligraphic style. To the left of the ox are four vertical red diamond shapes outlined in blue, each containing a single Chinese character in yellow. The background includes subtle yellow line art of other ox figures. Both cards display "us $5" in brown lettering at the bottom right corner.

One card bears the letters "VIP" in red near the top right above the ox, differentiating it as a VIP edition. Both cards share the same primary design elements, including the orange character, the red ox with floral details, and the red diamond characters aligned vertically. The style and imagery emphasize traditional Chinese cultural elements celebrating the Lunar New Year and the Ox zodiac sign.

These cards belong to a set connected to the Taisei stamps & coins Singapore series, produced for the Shanghai International Phonecard Show held in January 1997. The collection wishes customers a happy and prosperous new year. The designs highlight spirit and prosperity associated with the Year of The Ox and represent the 1997 Shanghai VIP Show collectible phone cards distributed by USACard Corporation.
