The obverse carries a central vignette of the Beckovská/Koryčanská Madonna — a Gothic carved relief of the Virgin and Child commissioned for the Polish Stibor family, who held Beckov Castle from 1388. The denomination "0 EURO" is printed in bold lettering to the right of the vignette, accompanied by the series designation "2025 - 3" and the EUROSOUVENIRS inscription. The upper portion bears the title "HRAD BECKOV" within a decorative border, with star ornaments and the issuing authority references "R. FAILLE" and "C.E.O. / EEBW" printed at the lower margin. |

Beckov Castle sits on a near-vertical basalt rock above the Váh river in western Slovakia — a site occupied since at least the 13th century and destroyed by fire in 1729, after which it was never rebuilt. The zero-euro souvenir format, administered by the ESBA and printed by Oberthur Fiduciaire in France, has become the dominant vehicle for this kind of regional heritage promotion across Europe since the scheme's commercial expansion in the 2010s. Oberthur brings genuine security printing credentials to what is essentially a novelty product — intaglio printing, UV features, and a EURion constellation are standard across the series.
