A cord of a toothed belt is made of a twisted yarn including a band-like material. The band-like material includes a filament bundle of high-strength glass fibers integrated together through a binder. The binder contains a rubber component, at least either a maleimide-based compound or a polyisocyanate compound, and a powdery inorganic filler. A surface of a reinforcing fabric facing opposite to the toothed belt body is coated with a surface-coating rubber layer made of a rubber composition containing a rubber component including hydrogenated nitrile-butadiene rubber as a main part.

A rubber-reinforcing cord (30) according to the present invention includes: a reinforcing fiber or reinforcing fiber bundle (21); a first coating (22) provided to cover the reinforcing fiber or reinforcing fiber bundle (21); and a second coating (31) provided to cover the first coating (22) and be located at the outer surface of the rubber-reinforcing cord (30).
