To provide a metal can which is excellent in a decorative effect having a surface gloss, and in addition, has anti-deformation property being approximately the same as a conventional product to a pressure from outside while being filled with a content, and has a shape being easy to crush after the drinking is completed in such a manner that a photographic subject on the front surface for each unit constituent surface is projected by utilizing a lens effect by elaborating a polyhedron section comprising the unit constituent surface (cell) which is formed on the can barrel, and to provide the manufacturing method of the metal can.

For this metal can, the polyhedron section of which the surface is a mirror surface comprising the unit constituent surface (cell) is formed at least at a part in the circumference and the axial direction of the can barrel. Each unit constituent surface is formed into a recess-like or a protrusion-like curved body having one or two or more specified radii of curvature. Also, the metal can is constituted in such a manner that the boundary in the lateral direction and/or the vertical direction of each unit constituent surface is connected under a continuous state.
