  • the layer structure provided with the wash color 21 is covered over the entire surface with a semi-transparent multi-layer structure 22, which appears gold-colored when viewed in incident light and shows a blue tint when viewed in transmitted light.
  • a multilayer structure 22 has a semitransparent Al layer 23 with a layer thickness of 14 nm, for example, a dielectric spacer layer 24 (SiO 2 with a layer thickness of 230 nm, for example) and a semitransparent Al layer 25 with a layer thickness of 14 nm, for example, and can be produced by vapor deposition.
  • a multilayer structure, which appears gold when viewed in reflected light and shows a blue hue when viewed in transmitted light is, for example, from WO 2011/082761 A1 known.
  • a demetallization step is carried out, in which the printed washing ink area 21 is washed off together with the overlying areas of the multilayer structure 22.
  • the layer structure obtained is provided with a (eg transparent) intermediate layer or primer layer 26 (eg a UV varnish) and then according to the figure 15 provided with a heat-sealing lacquer 27 suitable for gluing the security element to a value-document substrate.
  • a (eg transparent) intermediate layer or primer layer 26 eg a UV varnish
  • a heat-sealing lacquer 27 suitable for gluing the security element to a value-document substrate.
  • the resulting embossing varnish 18 has a metallic-gold-colored micromirror motif in the partial area 18a and a silver hologram motif in the partial area 18b.
  • the Figures 16 to 22 illustrate a second example of the manufacture of a in the figure 3 Foil security element 3 shown, which is suitable for sticking onto a document of value paper substrate.
  • the Figures 16 to 22 is a cross-sectional view of the layer structure in the course of the formation of the in the figure 3 shown film security element 3 along the dashed line AA 'shown.
  • the relief structure (ie the surface) of the embossing lacquer 29 has a microstructure in the partial area 29a and a nanostructure in the partial area 29b.
  • a printing layer 30 is printed onto the embossing varnish 29 first with a washing ink (ie a printing ink which can be washed out or removed after it has been printed using a washing liquid).
  • Wash colors are eg from the EP 1 972 462 A2 and the prior art cited therein at paragraphs [0004] to [0006].
  • the embossing varnish 29 printed with the washing ink 30 is provided with a multi-layer structure 31 over the entire surface, which appears gold-colored when viewed in reflected light and shows a blue hue when viewed in transmitted light.
  • a multi-layer structure 31 has a semi-transparent Al layer with a layer thickness of 14 nm, for example, a dielectric spacer layer (SiO 2 with a layer thickness of 230 nm, for example) and a semi-transparent Al layer with a layer thickness of 14 nm, for example, and can be produced by vapor deposition be generated.
  • a demetallization step is carried out, in which the printed washing ink area 30 is washed off together with the overlying layer area of the multi-layer structure 31.
  • the embossing varnish 29 that is produced in this way has only one in the partial area 29a semi-transparent multi-layer structure, which appears gold-colored when viewed in reflected light and shows a blue hue when viewed in transmitted light.
  • the embossing varnish 29 in the portion 29b with the from WO 2005/051675 A2 known ink printed is the embossing varnish 29 in the portion 29b with the from WO 2005/051675 A2 known ink printed.
  • the printing ink is based on platelet-shaped metal pigments (in particular Al pigments) and leads to the production of a reflection layer 32, in the present case a "silver" mirror layer.
  • the layer structure obtained is provided with a transparent intermediate layer or primer layer 33 (for example a transparent UV lacquer).
  • a transparent intermediate layer or primer layer 33 for example a transparent UV lacquer.
  • the foil security element 3 is completed by applying a transparent adhesive layer 34 (for example a heat-seal adhesive) to the primer layer 33 .
  • a transparent adhesive layer 34 for example a heat-seal adhesive
  • a document of value according to the invention according to a second exemplary embodiment is based on the preceding exemplary embodiment.
  • the one with the reference number 7 in the figure 3 the area of the film security element 3 shown is designed in such a way that instead of a semi-transparent multi-layer structure, which appears gold-colored when viewed in reflected light and shows a blue hue when viewed in transmitted light, a multi-layer, opaque structure capable of interference is used, which has a reflecting layer, a semi-transparent one layer and a dielectric layer arranged between the reflective layer and the semi-transparent layer, so that the color of the multi-layer structure changes with the change in the viewing angle.
  • the foil security element 3 Since the foil security element 3 is opaque in the area 7, the observer would perceive the document of value 1 when viewing the front side in transmitted light in exactly the same way as when viewing the front side in incident light. In other words, that in the figure 6
