Face Value

The value printed on the face of a security, insurance policy, or unit of currency.

An interest-bearing instrument will have a base face value at issuance, with the interest being the added-in value at maturity. The difference between the issuance value and maturity value is called the DISCOUNT or premium, or in the case of securities, the par value.
