The postcard promotes peace through archaeology, art, and philately. The back of the postcard features a Pax Card logo with a globe and the words "Pen Pal to Philatelists." It lists past Pax gatherings: 1944 Vatican, 1962 Athens, 1963 Rome, 1965 Madrid, and 1961-1965 Alexandria. It also includes the quotes "Since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defenses of PEACE must be constructed." (UNESCO) and "The PEN is mightier than the SWORD.
