To provide a replicating mold that can transfer unevenness on a main surface 11 of an electroforming layer in a replicating mold 100 by uniform press pressure even when there is unevenness on the opposite surface 12 of the electroforming layer in imprint molding for transferring to a UV curable resin or a thermoplastic resin.
The replicating mold includes: the electroforming layer 10 separated from a matrix 40 after growing electroforming on a main surface 41 of the matrix from the matrix 40 having the main surface 41 of the matrix having an unevenness shape; and a buffer layer 20 arranged on the opposite surface 12 of the electroforming layer positioned to face the surface contacting the main surface 41 of the matrix of the electroforming layer 10. The buffer layer 20 allows pressure uniformization of a press in imprint molding by using the replicating mold 100.
