Before moving to the chip system, Togo used the magnetic card telephone system installed by Autelca for five years. In this period only two cards were issued, which exploited the design that had been adopted five years earlier for the Gabon cards: one blue, of 2500F, and one red, of 5000F, both with 10,000 circulation. In fact, the two cards were reprinted in 1991, exactly the same, except for the blue and red, which are clearer than the first print, and this makes it possible to distinguish the first issue from the second.
