Abstract: A contactless communication medium according to an embodiment of the present technology includes an IC module, a first member, a second member, and a print layer. The IC module is capable of performing a contactless communication. The first member is made of a first transparent resin material, the first member including a first surface and a second surface, the first surface being a surface in which a concave portion that accommodates therein the IC module is formed, the second surface being situated opposite to the first surface. The second member is made of a second transparent resin material, the second member being connected to the first surface or the second surface. The print layer is arranged between the first member and the second member.
