To provide a transfer sheet which can form images having an excellent metallic luster on a variety of transfer objects.

This transfer sheet is a metallic sheet including a substrate and a transfer layer which is separable from the substrate and can form an image. The transfer layer contains hot-melt adhesive particles and metal powder. The transfer layer may be porous. The hot-melt adhesive particles may be formed of polyamide resin particles. The terminal carboxyl group concentration of the polyamide resin particles is not less than about 10 mg equivalents per kg. The average diameter of the hot-melt adhesive particles is about 30 to 150 μm. The metal powder may be aluminum, copper, zinc or other metal powder. The metal powder may be powder of a flaky metal. In the transfer sheet, a protective layer, which is separable from the substrate, may be provided between the substrate and the transfer layer.
