Hello,
The rate is accrued over the whole period, so in at the maturity date the bond pays a coupon for the whole livetime of the bond, and the principal.

Or you could just use a fixed rate bond with all coupons except the
last paying a null rate, or you can create a schedule with null
frequency. It depends on how the final payment accrues. Is the rate
accrued over the whole duration of the bond, or just a subperiod?
