Claim:
A microcircuit card comprising a body delimiting an edge of the card, said card comprising: a luminous means inside the card configured to illuminate at least partially said edge of the card, light emitted by the luminous means being transmitted in a thickness of the body up to said edge by way of a transmission region of the body made of a first material and surrounded at least partially by a second material different from the first material, the first and second materials constituting an optical waveguide for said light; and first and second near-field communication antennas connected respectively to the microcircuit card and to the luminous means; wherein the first near-field communication antenna is configured to supply power to the microcircuit card and the second near-field communication antenna is configured to supply power to the luminous means; and wherein the body consists of a stack of layers, the transmission region constitutes one of the layers of the stack which is a central layer interleaved between at least two external layers made of the second material.
