| Obverse description | City arms of Beckum displayed within an ornamental beaded inner circle, the shield bearing a wavy or serpentine charge characteristic of the town's heraldic tradition. The date appears above the arms within the field. The peripheral legend reads STADT ★ BECKEM 1595, arranged around the circumference, separated from the central device by the beaded border. The overall execution is typical of late 16th-century German municipal hammered coinage, with a somewhat irregular flan. |

| Reverse description | The Roman numeral III, denoting the coin's face value of three Pfennig, is prominently displayed in the center of the field within a concentric ornamented or beaded circular border. The numeral is rendered in bold, upright characters and enclosed by a decorative inner ring, with an additional beaded outer border following the coin's edge. The design is plain and functional, consistent with the small municipal copper coinage of Westphalian towns in the late 16th century. |
