Due to rampant inflation, the follis was quickly reduced in weight and by the time of Constantine it was a shadow of its former self and barely contained any silver at all.
The follis was reintroduced as a large bronze coin (40 nummi) in 498, with the coinage reform of Anastasius.

A very unusual style of bust on this wonderful medallic coin from the London mint. After consulting with Lee Toone i'm going with CT 2.01.003 (8), but there are so many subtle variations in style during this period. "A fine example of this coarser style probably engraved by an Allectan engraver learning how to adapt to the larger canvas of the new (for Britannia) nummi" (Lee Toone - 20.07.20). Ex. Brian Henry Grover Collection (Roma Numismatics E-Sale 72; Lot 1394)

BTR is a bit strange and I belive it is an engraving error as only PTR exists for this which follows perfect logic as in the west officina were "numbered" via the first letter in the Latin words for first, second (prima, secunda) etc., and in the east they did the same but with the Greek words (alpha, beta) etc.
There is also substantial die wear causing the first four letters of the obverse inscription to be almost entirely missing when striking the coin.
