Default has my key got a chip in it?

ive searched the forum and cant find out if my key has a chip or not. its a 97 or 98 (not certain which) facelift wrx import. the key looks very plain, with no lines or anything on it. i went to get one cut today and the bloke said it would have a chip in it. can anybody tell me for sure if it has or not? thanks.

look at the base of the black plastic, on either side of the metal blade. If it has a chip, there is a tiny panel with the chip under it, it's about 2mm x5mm.
