The invention concerns an object of value (15), for example a credit card,
banknote or identity card. The object of value (15) has a carrier layer
(1), at least one first layer (21) containing a moire pattern and at
least one second layer (31, 33) containing a moire analyzer for the moire
pattern of the first layer (21). That second layer is arranged above or
beneath the first layer in a fixed position relative to the first layer
in such a way that the moire pattern of the first layer (21) and the
moire analyzer of the second layer (31, 33) are permanently optically
superimposed at least in region-wise fashion, whereby a permanent moire
image is generated.
