To provide a coating tool for warm and hot working which has excellent seizure resistance and wear resistance.

In the tool for warm and hot working, hot die steel or high speed steel is used as a base material, and at least the working face is provided with a coating layer. The outermost surface layer of the coating layer consists of an (a) layer having surface roughness Rz of 4 to 15 μm. Also, a (b) layer consisting of one or more kinds of the nitrides, carbides and carbonitrides essentially consisting of one or more kinds of metallic elements selected from Ti, V, Cr, Al and Si lies directly on the base material. Desirably, the (a) layer essentially consists of one or more kinds of metallic elements selected from Ti, V, Cr, Al, Si and Cu, and whose layer thickness is controlled to 2 to 15 μm. Further, the coating layer is desirably coated by a physical vapor deposition method. Also, it is desirable that, in the coated base material, its hardness in a depth of 25 μm from the outermost surface of the base material is higher by ≥0.2 in 200 HV than the hardness in a depth of 500 μm from the outermost surface of the base material.
