turns out they are genuine, royal mints reply 

 

Thanks for your patience - I can confirm (as someone has mentioned already) that they are indeed Royal Mint coins. 

They were produced exclusively for an overseas customer.

I hope this helps 

Kind regards,
Kaz

No idea how that works!

I thought that all UK coins when a new/change in design is to be made are supposed to have a Royal Proclamation published in 'The Gazette '.  I've looked through 'The Gazette' notices for any coin proclamations again and found the relevant notice.

https://www.thegazette.co.uk/notice/2538345

see Twenty Five Pound Coin section 5(b)

However I don't remember the other £25 coin mentioned in this proclamation and also it seems that neither gold coins were stated to be legal tender!

A Two Pound silver coin is mentioned and I also don't remember but this one being issued but this one was to be legal tender.

All very strange and confusing.
