An identification medium including a metal foil and a cholesteric resin layer fragmentally disposed on the metal foil. In the identification medium, chromaticity coordinates (x1, y1) in an xy chromaticity diagram of the metal foil and chromaticity coordinates (x2, y2) in an xy chromaticity diagram of the cholesteric resin layer satisfy: 0 ‰¤ x 1 ˆ’ x 2 ‰¤ 0.02 and 0 ‰¤ y 1 ˆ’ y 2 ‰¤ 0.02.
