Origin/meaning

The arms were registered on January 1, 1970.

In the middle of the 14th century the West-Bohemian family of Bors of Osek founded Becov Castle. The discovery of tin ores in its vicinity destined the vil­lage below the Castle soon to become a mining cen­ter. To encourage its development the Bors family in 1399 bestowed on the village the status of a town, including several rights and its own coat-of-arms. The arms show a city gate with in the gate a small shield with the Bohemian lion, holding a hammer for the mining.

The patron saint, St. Mary is shown between the towers.
