Coupon - Generally, the nominal annual rate of interest of a fixed income security expressed as a percentage of the principal value. This interest is paid to the holder of the security by the borrower. The coupon is generally paid annually, semi-annually or, in some cases quarterly depending on the type of security.
The periodic interest payment made to the bondholders during the life of the bond.
The interest rate stated on a bond when it"s issued. The coupon is typically paid semiannually.
The annual rate of interest paid by the issuer of a bond until maturity. So, for instance, a Glaxo 5-year bond paying 7% interest per year is said to have a coupon of 7%. The phrase dates from the time when the bonds actually had a tear-off coupon which guaranteed your right to be paid by the issuer.
