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

so how does that work ?

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.

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.
