The design and development of a 32 T, 32 mm cold bore superconducting magnet with high field REBCO inner coils are underway at the NHMFL. The two nested REBCO coils that form the high field section are dry wound, with uninsulated conductor and insulated stainless steel cowind reinforcement. Active quench protection uses distributed protection heaters. As part of the development activity, prototype coils of the two REBCO coils with full scale radial dimensions and final design features, but with reduced axial length are being constructed. The first of these prototype coils was tested in a 15 T resistive background field magnet. The coil has inner and outer winding diameters of 40 mm and 140 mm, respectively, and consists of six double pancakes with a total conductor length of roughly 900 m. The construction of this prototype coil is described, including the protection heaters. Coil test results are reported including coil critical current, coil ramping characteristics, thermal stability, joint, and terminal resistance with field cycling. The corresponding operating stress in the windings is calculated. Importantly, the performance characteristics of the protection heaters will be measured including activation time.
