It uses the same automatically created certificate that Dovecot uses.

See /etc/proftpd.conf:

# TLS
<IfModule mod_tls.c>
   TLSEngine on
   TLSLog /var/log/proftpd/tls.log
   TLSRequired off
   TLSRSACertificateFile /etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem
   TLSRSACertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem
   TLSVerifyClient off
   TLSOptions NoCertRequest
   TLSRenegotiate required off
</IfModule>

Of course the drawback is that anyone using FTP over SSL will get a 
certificate warning, saying that this certificate is self signed.
