Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021122526A1] The present invention relates to an aerosol-generating consumable article (1) comprising at least one indicium (10) containing coded information about the article (1) arranged on a surface of said article (1). The coded information is implemented in at least one array of readable code elements that are readable upon illumination by an optical magnification reader system (200), said readable code elements having a density of at least 10 elements per square mm of said indicium (10). The invention is also related to an aerosol-generating device (2) configured to receive a consumable article (1). The aerosol-generating device (2) comprises an optical magnification reader system (200) configured to provide an optically magnified image of at least a portion of said indicium (10) on a detector (30) and to read said coded information, to recognize the authenticity of the consumable article (1).
