On the currency selection for pre-decimal UK there are the following:

 

1 Farthing is ¼ Penny but don't usually call it quarter penny. Is there a way for the ¼ penny to be removed? 

 

I'm sure there is a discussion to have on this matter.

the last two items are the only ones I see with that exact denomination

I think it should stay, some of the tokens Idolenz has shown have them written as ¼ on the coin/token itself. A farthing is still ¼ penny technically.

The denominations follow the format of the lettering of the object. Of course, there are different denominations with the same value.

 

Recently, I have noticed the case of Portugal, that have coins of 2.50 Euros with three different denominations (value 2.5):

 

The FAQ about denominations https://en.numista.com/help/add-or-modify-a-denomination-in-the-catalogue-206.html says nothing, but the FAQ about titles https://en.numista.com/help/coin-name-142.html says:

Non-integer values should be included in the title as they appear on the coin: as fractions, decimal numbers, or currency subunits. For fractional values, unicode fractions (½, ¼, etc.) or the special fraction slash should be used (⁄ U+2044).

 

Taking into account that an enhancement is pending in Numista that will display the denomination near the title, without to need of write it in the title https://en.numista.com/forum/topic164556.html I think the denomination should follow the same rule (to ensure its automatic application in titles, later).
