Description:

This collectible chip card features a detailed printed map of Belgium as its central image. The map is presented in a vivid color scheme, clearly outlining the country’s borders and internal divisions. The upper left section of the card includes the "$1. Comp." denomination, indicating a stored value of one dollar. The text "1997 CardEx 97 Belgium Map Show Card Chip Card SAMPLE" is printed prominently, identifying the card as a promotional and complimentary item from the 1997 CardEx exhibition held in Belgium.

The lower left corner displays the "U.S. West Commun." logo, associating the card with U.S. West Communications. The card also contains references to the CardEx 1997 event, confirming its issuance for that specific exposition, which focused on phone card collecting. The printed elements include the G&D chip card logo, verifying the card’s manufacture by Giesecke & Devrient, a known producer of smart cards. The overall design incorporates clean typography and a structured layout, befitting a collector’s show card from that era.

This stored value smart card is part of the CardEx 1997 series of show cards and was produced as a promotional and complimentary piece given at the conference. The card is not a sticker; all graphical and textual elements are directly printed onto the card, emphasizing its authenticity and collectible nature. The references to "show cards," "expositions," and "cardex '97" confirm its connection to the international CardEx phone card exhibitions, widely regarded among collectors for their specialty chip cards.
