A security document, comprising:

• a data carrier having:
• a cover layer;
• a base layer located beneath the cover layer;
• and
• an information layer arrangement,
• wherein the information layer arrangement is arranged between the cover layer and the base layer, and
• wherein the information layer arrangement comprises at least two information layers, wherein a first information layer of the at least two information layers is arranged beneath the cover layer and a second information layer of the at least two information layers is arranged beneath the first information layer along an extension direction extending from the cover layer to the base layer,
• wherein the first information layer and the second information layer have different optical properties, and
• in that the information layer arrangement has an unmodified region and at least one modified region, the at least one modified region having at least one recess extending at least partially into the first information layer along the extension direction,
• wherein the at least one modified region is configured to reflect incident electromagnetic waves whereby a first reflection spectrum is generated,
• wherein the unmodified region is configured to reflect said incident electromagnetic waves whereby a second reflection spectrum is generated, and
• wherein the first reflection spectrum is different from the second reflection spectrum.

A method of producing a data carrier, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing a cover layer, a base layer and an information layer arrangement comprising at least a first information layer and a second information layer, the first information layer and the second information layer having different optical properties, and
• providing the information layer arrangement with at least one modified region, wherein the at least one modified region is provided with at least one recess extending at least partially into the first information layer along an extension direction extending from the cover layer to the base layer,
• wherein the at least one modified region is configured to reflect incident electromagnetic waves whereby a first reflection spectrum is generated,
• wherein the unmodified region is configured to reflect said incident electromagnetic waves whereby a second reflection spectrum is generated, and
• wherein the first reflection spectrum is different from the second reflection spectrum.
