At a guess, the certificate number and your name. If it's encoded in a
standard format, there is room for at least (basically) 40 numbers-only
characters and 79 numbers-or-letters characters. If it's a "narrow"
stripe - about 5/16" or 8 mm wide - that's all it's got. If it's a
"wide" stripe - about 1/2" or 13 mm wide - there is an additional track
of 107 numbers-only characters. Reference

It's the narrow, 8 mm strip.

I wonder who's going to be scanning the card, and why?
