I came across this piece in a fire sale my bullion dealer was having. For some reason, not many people had purchased these. Gold is gold to me, so I bought a couple to add to the stack.
Obverse
(Source)
The obverse has a picture of the phrase "The Gold Standard" at the top. This references when gold coin was the money, and not the paper backed by broken dreams and empty promises that we have today. The picture of weighing scales highlights the emphasis on accuracy in weight and also integrity.
Reverse
(Source)
The reverse has the standard portrait of Queen Elizabeth II and a denomination of "25 Pounds."
Specifications
Weight: 1/4 Troy ounce
Purity: .9999
Diameter: 22.1mm
They stopped making these in 2020. Likely, this was due to not selling as well as other designs. It's very simplistic, but I like it. I don’t believe these really have any collector's value, so you may be able to find these cheaper than other gold coins on the market.
Each month, I give away a $1 Goldback or 4 HBD. The winner gets to choose.
Note: Some countries may have prohibitively expensive shipping or delivery, which may not be feasible. I reserve the right to award the winner 4 HBD instead of a Goldback at my discretion.

@bulliontools! Your Content Is Awesome so I just sent 1 $BBH (Bitcoin Backed Hive) to your account on behalf of @bitcoinman. (7/50)
Thanks! Gotta love gold! 😁
That's a great addition, any gold is good gold!
Thanks! Absolutely! Gold is gold! 😁
I had that on my list. But when I had the cash nobody had them anymore.
Sorry. 😔 I hear you. I've missed out on some deals due to lack of cash.
I like seeing 25 Pounds as the 1/4 ounce Gold Coins "Face Value"... But I think we're going to do away with 1/4 ounce Gold Coins... I think we'll be going to 1/5 ounce Gold Coins with $20 Face Values...

I don't think I've seen this gold coin for sale in Canada if it were it would have been competing against the gold Queen's Beasts at the time.
Yeah, I didn't really see it advertised anywhere. It's kind of odd in that aspect.
