| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in green and white with a guilloche oval underprint at centre, within which the COMAL shield logo — a dark, rounded emblem bearing the word 'Comal' — is placed to the left of the main text block. A green ruled border frames the entire face, with six blank rectangular boxes arranged along the left and right margins for validation or endorsement stamps. The upper area carries the equivalency statement and the lower margin bears the network's slogan in bold italic lettering. |

| Comments |
COMAL — the Cooperativa Mixta de Ahorro y Préstamo — operated as a Honduran agricultural cooperative network in the late 20th century. The Udi was a community currency unit issued internally for use among member cooperatives, bypassing the national banking system entirely. These notes circulated within a closed circuit of rural producers and were never legal tender in any formal sense.
Paper survival is poor. Most examples saw heavy handling in agricultural communities with little interest in preservation.
