A bond's current yield can be found by dividing the coupon or nominal by the current market price of the security. It is not an overly important yield to investors - as it is always changing and is most important if someone is pricing the bond to sell. If an investor is holding the security to maturity - then the current yield is not a big concern.
A debt that is priced above par (premium) will have a lower current yield vs. the nominal. A 7% corporate debenture priced at $102 will have a current of 6.86% ($70 divided by $1020). Discounted bonds will have a higher current yield than it's coupon rate.
