Face value is a term often used in finance to refer to the nominal or original value of a financial instrument, such as a bond or a stock. However, there are several synonyms that can be used in place of face value, depending on the context. For example, the term par value is often used when referring to the face value of a bond, while the term ticker value may be used when referring to the face value of a stock. Other similar terms include nominal value, principal amount, and stated value. In all cases, these terms refer to the original or face value of a financial instrument, which may or may not be the same as its market value or actual worth.
