coupon rate
Explanation:
coupon rate
(Fin) Anleihezins m, Zins m für Festverzinsliche (ie, not necessarily the same as the yield; syn, nominal interest rate)

These are the coupons on the bond that can be reedemed at regular intervals (the nominal rate). Bonds can also be traded on the open market, in which case they have a different rate.

Sorry, I mean if they\'re traded on the open market, the selling price will depend on the demand for bonds at the time of purchase rather than on the nominal (stated) interest rate.

Here\'s an another definition from www.investorwords.com:

coupon rate
The interest rate stated on a bond, note or other fixed income security, expressed as a percentage of the principal (face value). also called coupon yield.
