There was a Twenty-Five Pound 1/4 ounce gold coin issued in 1995, but it was not to commemorate the Queen Mother's birthday.
Please check your coin. A 1 gram gold coin would be too small to pick up.
You can pick these up for a pound or two if in top condition
If you pocketed the coin along with the queen and the striker then,it's a foul but the queen is covered and you have to keep a coin along with the coin which you sunk.
The British cupro-nickel 25 Pence coin was only ever issued on four occasions as a commemorative coin and was not intended to be a circulating coin. The denomination was never inscribed on the coin. It was issued in - 1972 - Silver Wedding Anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip. 1977 - Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. 1980 - 80th birthday of the Queen Mother. 1981 - Royal Wedding of HRH Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer. During the period of its issue, it was known as a Crown due to it being of similar size to the predecimal Crown or 5 Shilling coin. The Five Pound coin assumed the title of Crown from its first issue in 1990.
