As per my knowledge you will be asked for an original copy of the certificate. But I was told at the test centre, in case you lose this certificate contact Home Office!

Unfortunately, if you lose the certificate you may have to take the exam again.
This is from the UKBA website:
What happens if I lose my pass notification letter?
Your pass notification letter is very important: you should keep it in a safe place until you are ready to fill in your application for citizenship or indefinite leave to remain. If you lose this letter, you will not be given a new one to replace it. This means that you may have to pay to take the test again.

you cannot use a copy or a photograph of the original certificate.

you can contact UKBA and let them know. but in reality you have to pass it again.

see below from UKBA site

How long is my certificate valid for?

Your Life in the UK Test Certificate does not have an expiry date on it. You should therefore keep it in a safe place until you are ready to submit the original with your application for Citizenship or Settlement.

We are not able to provide you with further copies of your test certificate. If you lose it, you should contact the Home Office who may ask you to take your test again.

Kind Regard,
A.Khan

As all above responses, you will have to take the test again.
