That second layer is arranged above or beneath the first layer in a fixed position relative to the first layer in such a way that the , moire pattern of the first layer (21) and the moiré analyser of the second layer (31, 33) are permanently optically superimposed at least in region--wise fashion, whereby a permanent moiré image is generated.
