The U.S. mints bullion pieces with artificial denominations of $5, $10, $20, and $50 but not $25. Your item is almost certainly something made by a private company, and may or may not be a gold piece.

If it is gold it should be prominently marked with the amount in ounces and the "fineness" as a decimal; for ex. 0.999 or 0.850. Multiply the weight by the fineness, and then by $1000, to get a rough idea of its gold value.

If it doesn't have those markings it's most likely a novelty item made of base metal and plated to look like gold, but a precious-metals specialist would have to test it to be certain.
