the face value is the original cost of the stock, as listed on the certificate. In general cases, it is the value of share.  It is also known as the par value and is decided when the stock is issued.

Face value of a share, also known as the par value, is the value at which a share is listed on the stock market. The face value of share can be taken up from Rs.1 but Majorly, the shares of Indian companies have a face value of Rs.10. There are no fixed criteria for deciding on the face value of a stock. It is fixed by the company, once it decides to issue its shares and bonds.
