Description:

This collectible card is an Australia ANZ Visa Cash Card from a pre-trial issued in November 1995. It features a metallic gold coin and banknote design prominently on the front. The card displays the Australia and New Zealand Banking Group (ANZ) logo in the top left corner alongside the word "Australia." The Visa logo is located at the lower right of the card. A chip is embedded near the upper center portion, highlighting it as a stored value bank card. The card is marked with the value "$20" which is part of its stored value feature.

The card’s design emphasizes its dual function as a bank card and a stored value card, incorporating visual elements typical of currency such as coins and banknotes. The company name "Gemplus," a known manufacturer of chip cards, appears clearly on the card, reinforcing its authenticity. The card is part of an early Visa Cash trial program in Australia, a pioneering effort to combine banking and stored value payment functions on one card.

Overall, the card serves as a historical example of financial technology from the mid-1990s in Australia, combining bankcard functionality with stored value capabilities in a chip card format. Its association with ANZ and the Visa Cash system marks an important step in the evolution of electronic payments.
