  • the at least one recess has a cross section which, starting from the edge, increases in the direction of the interior of the coin body.
  • the opening of the recess at the edge of the coin body is therefore smaller than the cross-sections of the recess lying inside the coin body. Because of this relatively small "attack surface", the luminescent security feature located in the depression is particularly reliably protected from mechanical stresses and environmental influences.
  • the at least one luminescent substance is preferably a photoluminescent substance which, when exposed to electromagnetic radiation, in particular light, shows luminescence, ie is excited to emit emission light.
  • the spectral range of the emission light is usually different from the spectral range of the exciting electromagnetic radiation, but can overlap with it.
  • the photoluminescent substance shows fluorescence and / or phosphorescence.

  • the particles which preferably have a diameter of less than 100 ⁇ m, are introduced into the depression in particular by means of a resin.
  • the luminescent substance has two or more luminescent substances. What is achieved thereby is that the spectrum of the light excited and emitted in the luminescent substance is more complex and therefore essential More difficult to imitate than when using only one luminescent substance.
  • a first luminescent substance can absorb electromagnetic radiation in a first spectral range and a second luminescent substance can emit emission light in a second spectral range after being excited by electromagnetic radiation, the first and second spectral ranges at least partially overlapping.
