The fineness notation 835 appears at lower left, the mint mark C.A.M. at lower center, and the date 1892 at lower right, all separated within the exergual area.

Struck in 1892 to mark the quadricentennial of Columbus's first American landfall, El Salvador's pattern coinage of that year was part of a broader regional effort to modernize and standardize Central American currencies. The Central American Mint in San Salvador produced several denominations in white metal as presentation or approval pieces — KM#Pn9 being among the least frequently encountered at auction.
White metal patterns of this period were typically struck for official review rather than circulation trials, meaning surviving examples saw no handling whatsoever.
