How it's used
Focuses strictly on the nominal value printed on financial instruments or collectibles rather than market worth. It is a formal term often used in banking, retail, or philately contexts to distinguish the original printed amount from the current trading price or collector value.
Examples
What is the face value of this stamp?
His gift voucher has a face value of as much as five hundred dollars.

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe the 'worth' of a person or a situation, as it is strictly reserved for physical items with a printed denomination.
