In order to improve an implant for replacing a vertebral body or for insertion into an intervertebral cavity between adjacent vertebral bodies of a human or animal spinal column, with a first contact face for resting on a joint face of a first vertebral body and with a second contact face for resting on a joint face of a second vertebral body, the implant being at least partially produced from an X-ray transparent material and comprising at least one X-ray marker in such a way that it can be produced more simply, it is proposed that the at least one X-ray marker is configured in the form of an at least partial marker coating, which contains metal as the marker material, of a side face of the implant, which is inclined relative to the first and/or the second contact face by an angle of inclination.
