A document of value with a security element and method for producing the document of value

A document of value (1) with at least one security element (6) which is applied in a marking area (4) on a carrier body (2), electroluminescent pigments (10) comprising marking layer (8) to (for excitation of the electroluminescence of the pigments 10) also be suitable with comparatively low externally imposed field strengths. For this purpose, according to the invention in the marking area (4) distributed over an area a plurality of electrically insulated field displacement elements (14) with a dielectric constant of more than 100 is disposed, which have a mean distance from one another of about 5 microns to 500 microns, and compressing the impressed field in their interstices.
