摘要： A coin (1) with a metal surface (2, 3) has macroscopic reliefs (5) which serve for visually specifying the value of the coin and as an authenticity feature. Microscopically fine relief structures (8) with a diffraction effect are formed directly in at least one of the surfaces (2, 3). The relief structures (8) are preferably arranged in a recessed relationship and are covered with a lacquer (9). It is also advantageous if at least a part of the relief structures (8) entails an asymmetrical profile shape and/or the grating vectors in a radial orientation. The release structures (8) may also include a machine-readable coding which is recognized by inexpensive optical reading devices for installation in coin testers.The application of the microscopic relief structure (8) to a hard material surface (2, 3) can be effected by the removal of material by means of exposure of the material surface (2, 3) with a laser beam. In that operation the laser beam passes through a mask for determining the form of the relief structures (8) and then an optical image-forming system for reduction purposes. The exposure procedure can also be implemented in accordance with the dual beam interference method. In a further method the microscopic relief structures (8) are etched into the material surface (2, 3).

摘要： A decorative foil (1) has a laminate structure comprising at least two layers (2; 3). The layers (2; 3) include a for example transparent base foil (2) which is coated on side with a reflection layer (3). A protective layer (4) can protect the reflection layer (3) from external influences. The shaping surface (7) of the base foil (2), which is towards the reflection layer (3), has a structure, obtained by shaping, of groups of geometrical shapes. An area occupied by the group is of width of between 30 &mgr;m and 300 &mgr;m. Elements (14) of the group, which are shaped in the base foil (2), are of a substantially rectangular cross-section, wherein the surface occupied by the group is composed of element surfaces (9 through 11) which are in a parallel plane (8) with respect to the shaping surface (7) and residual surfaces (13) which have remained in the plane of the shaping surface (7). The surfaces occupied by the groups are separated by regions of a background area in the plane of the shaping surface (7).

摘要： A surface pattern (1) is composed of elements (2 to 5) which are arranged in a mosaic-like fashion and of which at least one pattern is formed from a background element (4) and a pixel (2) with microscopically fine relief structures diffracting visible light. The surface elements (3) and the element portions (5) either contain the microscopically fine relief structures diffracting visible light or they comprise reflecting or scattering surfaces. Arranged in the pixel (2) is a first diffraction grating B1 and arranged in the background element (4) is a second diffraction grating B2, wherein the first diffraction grating B1 and the second diffraction grating B2 are a superimposition of at least two different, microscopically fine relief structures F1 and F2 diffracting visible light. The first diffraction grating B1 and the second diffraction grating B2 differ only by virtue of a relative phase shift &Dgr;&phgr; between the relief structure F1 and the relief structure F2. Upon illumination with polychromatic light the pattern is of a single color which has brightness differences in zones involving different values of the phase shift &Dgr;&phgr;.

摘要： A decorative foil is in the form of a layer composite structure (1) and comprises at least a transparent base foil (2), a transparent cover layer (4) and a transparent dielectric layer (3) arranged between the base foil (2) and the cover layer (4). When the decorative foil serves as a lamination foil for a substrate (5) the material of the cover layer (4) is an adhesive. A reflective metallic layer (6) is arranged at least in surface portions between the dielectric layer (3) and the cover layer (4) and optionally a metal film (11) is also arranged on the side of the dielectric layer (3) facing the base foil (2). General items of information shown by the decorative foil are produced by means of modulation of the thickness (s) of the dielectric layer (3). Transparent locations (7) form individual items of information, wherein the transparent locations (7) are produced with a laser beam (19) by perforating the metal layer (6; 11). Besides being used as a lamination foil the decorative foil can also be used as a packaging foil.

摘要： A surface pattern is made up of surface elements (1 to 7) which are arranged in a mosaic-like fashion and which have microscopic relief structures. The surface elements (2 to 6) which are divided at least into first and second surface portions (8; 9) have in the first and second surface portions (8; 9) asymmetrical diffraction gratings (12; 13) with an optical diffraction effect, wherein in each divided surface element (2 to 6) adjacent first surface portions (8) are separated by at least one second surface portion (9). The grating vectors of the asymmetrical diffraction gratings (12) of the first surface portions (8) of all divided surface elements (2 to 6) have the same first value in respect of azimuth and the asymmetrical diffraction gratings (13) of the second surface portions (9) of all divided surface elements (2 to 6) have the same second value in respect of azimuth. The divided surface elements (2 to 6) are arranged in accordance with their surface proportion value AN in the mosaic of all surface elements (1 to 7). The surface proportion value AN of the N-th divided surface element is the relationship of the sum of all first surface portions (8) to the total area of all first and second surface portions (8; 9).

摘要： A surface pattern (1) has N visually recognizable patterns which are composed of optically diffractive, microscopically fine relief structures, plane mirror faces or absorbing or scattering structures. The N patterns share at least one independent common surface element (11). The surface element (11) is subdivided into surface parts and has an arrangement of the surface parts which is independent of the N patterns, which has a predetermined structure, and which is not recognizable to the naked eye. A single microscopically fine diffraction structure or a structure which has an absorbing or scattering property or is a plane mirror is applied to each surface part. The relief structures, diffraction structures and other structures are embedded in a plastic laminate (20) and can have their optical performance enhanced by a reflection layer (21). The surface pattern (1) is applied as a security element to a document (2) and allows the document (2) to be identified by machine in a reading machine.

摘要： A security element (2) in the form of a laminate can be used for the authentication of a document (1). The laminate has at least a transparent protective layer, a transparent lacquer layer and an adhesive layer, the lacquer layer being arranged between the protective layer and the adhesive layer. An interface in the form of a reflection layer separates the adhesive layer and the lacquer layer. The interface is divided into regions of a pattern (25) with flat surface portions and with relief structures which are formed in the lacquer layer. The flat surface portions form background surfaces (3) providing flat mirror surfaces for light which is incident into the laminate, while the regions with the relief structures of a predetermined, optically effective structure depth form pattern elements (4). The relief structures of the pattern elements (4) absorb the incident light. In the reflected light of the reflecting background surfaces (3) the dark pattern elements (4) form a strong contrast and the pattern (25) is clearly visible. In directions other than that of the reflected light the contrast between the background surfaces (3) and the pattern elements (4) disappears so that a copier apparatus reproduces the background surfaces (3) and the pattern elements (4) as black surfaces.
