As described above, the design pattern is printed with the visible conductive ink 6B. The visible pattern of the conductive ink 6B is used as the transmission / reception terminal 5B of the contact type micro IC chip 5A. The authenticity of the printed matter is determined by the individual information (or authentication information) read from the non-contact micro IC chip 5 and the individual information (or authentication information) read from the contact micro IC chip 5A. If the two match, the authenticity is determined.

Similarly, a non-contact type micro IC chip 5 is also provided.
It is also possible to print so as to connect the pattern with the conductive ink 6A, and use the pattern with the conductive ink 6A as a transmitting / receiving antenna of the non-contact type micro IC chip 5.
