A mold for imprinting a pattern onto a member to be processed. The mold includes a mold body having a front surface, at which an imprint pattern is formed, and a rear surface opposite from the front surface. A coating layer covers the front surface of the mold body, and a coating layer covers the rear surface of the mold body. An alignment mark as an object to be subjected to optical observation is provided at the front surface of the mold body. The coating layer for covering the rear surface includes (i) a hole for observation of the alignment mark and (ii) a stress adjusting pattern corresponding to a density of the imprint pattern. The hole for observation is formed at the rear surface of the mold body opposite from the alignment mark, and the stress adjusting pattern is formed at the rear surface of the mold body opposite from the imprint pattern.
