| Obverse description | A haloed saint figure — likely the town's patron — stands at centre holding a quill or palm frond, with the municipal coat of arms of Beckum displayed below, encircled by a ribbon scroll inscribed 'Stadt-Magistrat Beckum'. A panoramic townscape vignette forms the background, with factory chimneys to the left and a church spire to the right. Denomination numerals '25' appear in red within ruled panels at upper left and upper right, a wreathed '25 Pf.' medallion at lower left, and the issue date '1. Septbr. 1920' at lower left, with manuscript signatures of the Magistrat to the right. |

| Reverse description | The reverse carries a central vignette illustrating a humorous local scene: an old soldier or watchman consulting a sundial mounted on a building facade, with an anthropomorphic smiling sun radiating rays in the upper right corner. A decorative border frames the composition, with the place name 'Beckum' across the top. A stanza of local dialect verse is printed in a panel at lower centre, flanked by validity notices in red printed vertically along both side margins. The denomination '25 Pg.' and the year '1920' appear at lower left and lower centre respectively, alongside a red serial number printed vertically at left. |
