A bond is a type of a debt security, the approved issuer owes the holders a debt. The repayment period is often an agreement between the issuer and the holder.
A bond's face value is typically repaid to the bondholder at maturity. This represents the principal amount borrowed by the issuer, which is returned to investors along with any final interest payments.

Bonds sold at face value, or par value, are issued at their nominal value, which is the amount the issuer agrees to pay the bondholder at maturity. For example, if a bond has a face value of $1,000, it will be sold for $1,000 when issued. Investors typically receive interest payments based on this face value until maturity, when they are repaid the full amount. Selling at face value indicates that the bond is not being sold at a premium or discount relative to its value.
Bonds are a form of debt securities issued by governments or corporations. They typically have a specified maturity date when the principal amount is repaid. Bonds pay periodic interest payments to bondholders based on a fixed or floating interest rate. The value of bonds can fluctuate depending on changes in interest rates and the creditworthiness of the issuer.
The three main characteristics of bonds are their face value (par value), coupon rate (interest rate), and maturity date (when the bond will be repaid). Bond prices fluctuate based on market interest rates, with higher rates leading to lower bond prices and vice versa. Bonds can be issued by governments, municipalities, or corporations to raise funds.
Par Value
Stocks are displayed as a value of currency per share, whereas bonds are displayed as a percentage of par value (or face value). Generally, bonds have a face value of $1000, and if the price is reflected as 100.00 that means the bond is currently worth 100% of its face value.

That depends on the goals of the purchaser. Bonds return a fixed rate of interest income. Stocks generally return a fluctuating rate of interest income, and thus have the capacity to return more money, both as dividends and increased (resale) value of the stock itself.However, stocks also have the potential to decrease in value, which is not true of the bond market.Finally, if the company folds or goes bankrupt, bond-holders will be the first people to be repaid the value of their bonds (since bonds are debts owed to the bond-holder), while stockholders will not be repaid (since stocks are shares of ownership, not debts).If you want to risk your money for the sake of earning more, buy stocks. If you don't want to risk as much and are willing to settle for a lower rate of return, buy bonds -- even then, beware, because a company that goes bankrupt may not have enough money left over to pay even the bond-holders.
