A magneto-optical disc includes a recording layer (4) and a protective film (7) of radiation-cured resin on a substrate (2). Information is written in the recording layer with the aid of a magnetic head in sliding contact with the disc. In a first form, when the protective film is subject to a micro-vibration scratch test by setting the disc in a thin film scratch tester equipped with a diamond indentor having a radius of curvature R of up to 50 .mu.m, the relationship: 0.8.ltoreq.L/R.sup.2 .ltoreq.2.7 is met wherein L is the critical load (N.m) under which the thin film is scratched. In a second form, the protective film has a dynamic modulus of 5.0.times.10.sup.9 to 4.0.times.10.sup.10 dyn/cm.sup.2 at 100.degree. C. The disc is highly durable.
