The Royal Mint has never produced a Quarter-Sovereign coin until 2009. There has never been a need for a Quarter-Sovereign coin, since the Crown (Five Shillings) did the job and, after decimalisation, the 25 Pence coin to a lesser extent.
The current interest shown in a Quarter-Sovereign coin seems to stem from a disreputable somebody claiming to have scooped the world market on a finite number of coins only available to them and, mysteriously originating in Another Country.
These coins are not legal tender in Britain and, if they are actually made from gold, would be worth bullion value.
Such a coins does not exist. All 1901 British coins featured Queen Victoria on the obverse. George V started appearing on British coins in 1911.
A British 1911 22 carat gold Half-Sovereign (George V)(minted in London - no mintmark), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £95 GBP. If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch anything from bullion value to £70 GBP. A British 1911 22 carat gold Half-Sovereign (George V)(Proof FDC)(minted in London - no mintmark), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £300 GBP. A British 1911 22 carat gold Half-Sovereign (George V)(minted in Perth - mintmark = P), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £275 GBP. If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch anything from £80 to £140 GBP. A British 1911 22 carat gold Half-Sovereign (George V)(minted in Sydney - mintmark = S), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £100 GBP. If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch anything from bullion value to £70 GBP. The values quoted are the best possible for the best specimens in their grades, but may be significantly lower due to varying demand for the coin and the prevailing economic climate. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation based on inspection of the coin.
If you refer to Sovereign coinage, all British Sovereign coinage is minted in 22 carat gold. The Sovereign weighs 7.988052 grams, and contains 7.322881 grams of gold. The Half-Sovereign weighs 3.99 grams, and contains 3.6575 grams of gold.
How much is a 1911 quarter worth
No. The Royal Mint has never produced a Quarter-Sovereign coin until 2009.

Other than for traders tokens, there was no Australian currency until 1911. Australia did not produce a Quarter Farthing coin.
No, it is not a Five Pound coin. There were four different gold coin issued in 1911 with George V on the obverse and St George and the Dragon on the reverse. The Five Pound and Two Pound, both as Proof only, and the Sovereign and Half-Sovereign. The Five Pound coin was the largest of the gold coins in 1911 at about 38mm. The Half-Sovereign was the smallest of the gold coins in 1911 at 19.5mm. I cannot find any reference to a 1911 British 16mm gold coin.
The British have never produced a "Dime" coin. The "Dime" is a US 10 cent coin.
A British 1911 (Proof FDC) set of coins (Five Pounds to Maundy Penny - 12 coins), in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £4,200 GBP. A British 1911 (Proof FDC) set of coins (Sovereign to Maundy Penny - 10 coins), in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £1,300 GBP. A British 1911 (Proof FDC) set of coins (Halfcrown to Maundy Penny - 8 coins), in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £580 GBP. The value of any coin set is also dependent on the state of the original packaging. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation.
No. It was part of the Ottoman Empire until 1911 when it became part of the Italian Empire. After WW2 it was a sovereign state. However, following Italy's defeat in WW2 - this was, for a time, under British Control.
Queen Victoria died in 1901 and the last British coins issued with her likeness were issued in 1901. King George V appeared on all British coins from 1911 onwards. However, since 1911 is ten years after the death of Queen Victoria, it may be some sort of commemorative medallion or token.
On the reverse of the quarter eagle, the eagle is sitting on a bundle of arrows. To the left of the arrows there will be a "D" which means you have a 1911 D quarter eagle, the key date. If there is no letter "D" to the left of the arrows, you have just a 1911 quarter eagle (occasionally called a 1911-P because it was struck in Philadelphia, however it doesn't have a P mintmark).
