    “Colchian tetri” is a name of a coin group. Initially, the name “Colchian tetri” was attributed to the II type hemidrachms (the same triobol. Obv. Archaic female head to the right/left within the linear circle or in border of the dots; Rev. Bull’s head to the right within the linear circle). They are abundantly represented in West Georgia and are without doubt of the Colchian origin.
