Abstract (en)

[origin: DE19804024A1] The invention relates to a printed document having a value and comprising at least one authenticity feature in the form of a luminescent substance on the basis of a host lattice doped with at least two rare-earth metals. The host lattice absorbs essentially in the visible spectrum, can be excited in substantial parts of the visible spectrum and is transparent at least in partial areas of the infrared spectrum. The luminescent substance is present in the volume of the document having a value at a concentration which is such that the properties of said document are not affected. Thulium and holmium are used as the rare-earth metals.
