Wikipedia
Face value
The face value, sometimes called nominal value, is the value of a coin, bond, stamp or paper money as printed on the coin, stamp or bill itself by the issuing authority. The face value of coins, stamps, or bill is usually its legal value. However, their market value need not bear any relationship to the face value. For example, some rare coins or stamps may be traded at prices considerably above their face value. Coins may also have a salvage value due to more or less valuable metals that they contain.

face value
Face value is the nominal value or dollar value of a security, as stated by its issuer. It is the original cost of a bond or stock, as represented on the certificate or instrument, and it does not change over time due to market fluctuations. In the context of currency, face value refers to the worth of a coin or note as printed on its face. It is also known as par value or nominal value.

For example, a one troy ounce American Gold Eagle bullion coin was worth and sold for about $1,200 USD during 2009 market prices and yet has a face value of only $50 USD.
