the holder of a share certificate has his name in the register of the company and share certificates can be full or partly paid!

Share certificate entitle the holder to be the owner of shares!

on the other hand the holder of a share warrant doesnt has his name in the register of the company, he doesnt have the right to vote and doesnt have the right to receive dividend.

also, only a public company can issue share warrant.

shares have to be fully paid in the case of share warrant!

I also want to add one more thing and that is A share warrant is a bear instrument. Means holder of share warrant is the owner share warrant.
