| Obverse description | Crowned municipal arms of Beckum displayed in the central field, depicting a stylized eagle or heraldic device surmounted by an open crown. The shield is rendered in the broad, somewhat crude style typical of late 16th-century hammered coinage. A beaded inner border encircles the design, with the Latin legend partially legible around the periphery. |

| Reverse description | A large Roman numeral I occupies the central field, denoting the denomination of one Pfennig, set within an ornate lobed or beaded circular frame composed of multiple interlocking roundels and decorative elements surmounted by a small crown. The overall arrangement creates a stylized ornamented cartouche around the value numeral. The flan is irregular, consistent with hammered production of the period. |
