| Beschrijving keerzijde | A finely detailed depiction of the RNLI Mersey-class lifeboat Roy Barker I underway at sea, shown in three-quarter starboard view with waves breaking at its bow. The RNLI flag, bearing the Royal National Institution's heraldic arms, flies from a staff on the vessel's foredeck, while a lighthouse is visible in the right background. The motto WITH COURAGE NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE arcs along the upper field, and the denomination TWENTY FIVE POUNDS is inscribed along the lower border, all set against a deeply polished proof background with a raised bead border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Roy Barker I served as the RNLI's lifeboat station at Portrush from 1967, an Oakley-class vessel credited with numerous rescues along the notoriously treacherous North Antrim coast before being relieved of service. Alderney has issued commemorative gold in large formats like this since the 1990s, typically under license arrangements that route design and striking through the Royal Mint or private mints rather than any indigenous minting infrastructure — the island has none.
At 155.5 grams of .999 gold, this is a five-ounce piece, a format chosen almost entirely for its bullion appeal rather than numismatic tradition.
