A magnetic recording medium in which a magnetic layer is formed on a support, wherein the magnetic layer contains a CuAu-type consisting of FeNi, FePd, FePt, CoPt or CoAu or Cu 3 Au-type consising of Ni 3 Fe, FePd 3 , FePt 3 , CoPt 3 , Ni 3 Pt, CrPt 3 , Ni 3 Mn or Co 3 Pt ferromagnetic ordered alloy, and a value (Mr·t ave (G·µm)) obtained by multiplying the residual magnetic flux density (Mr (G)) with an average thickness (t ave (µm)) of the magnetic layer is 30 or more, and a method of manufacturing the magnetic recording medium, wherein a coating and drying treatment of coating a coating solution for forming a magnetic layer containing a CuAu-type or Cu 3 Au-type ferromagnetic ordered alloy and a binder on a support and of applying a drying treatment is conducted at least twice. |
