The QSL card commemorates the Third Open International Goldpanning Championship held in Złotoryja, Poland, in 1996. On the front, it features an artistic depiction of a gold panner alongside the event's logo, prominently displaying the special event station call sign "3Z0AU" and the text "Open Goldpanning Championship of Poland." It highlights the cardholder's honorary membership in the Polish Goldpanning Brotherhood and extends an invitation for participation in annual events. The reverse side showcases a detailed report with specific communications data, including the recipient's call sign (VD3BLU) and the date and time of the exchange. An illustration of a gold panner in period attire enhances the card's nostalgic charm, while text notes the participation of over 1,000 competitors from various regions in the competition.
