- What does the value printed on my share mean?
If you look at your share certificate you may notice a value printed on it this is called the shares Nominal value or Par value. This value has no relation to the actual shares market value. They are written on your share mainly for accounting purposes and allow the company that issued the share to keep track of how many shares they have issued. The meaning of this value causes confusion because it has no relation to the actual shares trading price for most practical purposes you can forget about it. Remember although your share does have real financial value determined by the stock market the idea behind FramedShare is to provide a unique gift and not an investment.
