Watermark
Invisible Regularly
A watermark isn't meant to be obvious unless looked at closely, often to verify authenticity.

The letterhead is plain at first glance, but the watermark becomes clear when backlit.

Watermarks can prevent counterfeiting, used in money, stamps, and important documents.

The new currency notes have a more complex watermark to discourage forgery.
