The No-Par value shares are those whose prices are determined by whether the investors want to pay for them or not.
No, Australian companies do not have a par value (or nominal value) for their shares. The concept of par value was abolished by law in Australia in 1998.
A stock split does not affect the par value of a company's shares. The par value remains the same before and after a stock split.
If a share costs 95 pence to buy, then that is its par value.

There is no correlation between PAR and MARKET PRICE . Par value was the assigned value of a share when the company was set up. There can be par value shares and no par value shares. After the first second, the value of that share has changed from the time it was identified as a share or issued as an outstanding share.
Par value has no real connection to the worth of common stock. For example, when Starbucks went public, its shares of stock was $0.001 par, but opened at $17 and closed in the same day at $21.50; so if there were 2,500 shares sold at opening, it worth 2,500 x $17 = $42,500, but this has no connection to par value. Assuming the 2,500 shares of common stock sold at par value and the earnings was $100,000.00; the par value would be $100,000 / 2,500 = $40.00
It's the ratio of earnings (profits) to the number of shares. When divided it gives you the amount of money you make per share, the higher the better.

Par value, sometimes referred to as maturity value is the face value of a stock certificate or bond and sets the price below which the security will not be issued. In the case of a bond, it is the principle amount that is due at maturity or call. In the case of a company's stock, the par value has no relation to the market value of the security and is typically set at $0.01 or $0.001 for US companies (though they can also issue no par value shares). Federally incorporated Canadian companies by contrast can only issue no par value shares. Provincially incorporated companies can issue shares with a par value which can be helpful in tax planning, estate freezes and unique preferred share issues. So the short answer to your question is that the 5,000, simply denotes how many shares you have, but the "no par value" part is for all intents and purposes irrelevant and only means that the shares were initially created with no par value. It's an aspect of the shares that's really only relevant to the company's accountants.
