| Reverse description | Entirely blank, uniface reverse characteristic of a trial or pattern piece, presenting a plain, unadorned field with a reeded collar visible at the rim.

| Additional information |
ENCA produced a series of fish-themed silver issues in the mid-2000s targeting the collector and thematic coin market, with the Pygoplites diacanthus — the regal angelfish — among the more visually distinct subjects in that run. A reverse trial represents a die or planchet test strike made before final production approval, meaning this piece was never intended for distribution and would have remained within the mint's own records or quality-control process.
Trial pieces from ENCA are poorly documented in standard references, and their survival outside institutional holdings is largely a matter of chance.
