Coated die for use in hot stamping

A coated die for use in hot stamping, which has a hard film on a work surface, wherein

• the hard film has an alternating lamination section formed by alternating lamination of a1 layers consisting of nitride in which a metal part including semimetals has 30% or more of chromium in atomic ratio, and a2 layers consisting of nitride in which a metal part including semimetals has 50% or more of vanadium in atomic ratio, and
• when ta1 and ta2 are defined as thicknesses of the a1 layer and the a2 layer respectively,
• a film thickness ratio Xb is defined as a film thickness ratio ta2/ta1 of a1 layers and a2 layers adjacent to each other in a substrate-side region of the alternating lamination section and a film thickness ratio Xt is defined as a film thickness ratio ta2/ta1 of a1 layers and a2 layers adjacent to each other in an outermost surface side region of the alternating lamination section,
• it holds that Xt>Xb.
