Copper alloy quarter-nummus of Constantine I as Caesar (AD 306-7), dating to AD 307 (Reece Period 15), PLVR NATAL FEL in wreath. Mint of Trier. RIC VI, p. 213, no. 746. This coin is very rare; it is the only example on the PAS Database, and the British Museum does not have a specimen. It is listed as a quarter-follis/nummus in RIC, but I am sceptical. At only 0.68g (and in good condition) is surely has to be a smaller denomination. These fractions of nummi do need more research.
