A forgery prevention structure, in one configuration, includes a relief forming layer, a first reflection layer, a functional thin film layer, a second reflection layer and a protection layer in this order. In this configuration, the relief forming layer has a relief structure comprising a first relief and a second relief; each of the reliefs has an uneven surface, a surface area of the uneven surface of the first relief being smaller than a surface area of the uneven surface of the second relief; the first reflection layer and the functional thin film layer each are provided along a whole of the uneven surfaces of the reliefs and each has uneven surfaces corresponding respectively to the uneven surfaces of the reliefs; and the second reflection layer and the protection layer each has an uneven surface corresponding to the uneven surface of the first relief.
