It's a 25p (crown) issued in 1977 to commemorate the Queen's Silver Jubilee. Rather common I'm afraid.

It's a shame they issued so many. I think it's one of the finest modern designs, especially that reverse. Quite probably the finest crown-sized piece of the decimal era. The silver proof version is not at all rare so that would be the one to go for, as it's even more attractive (can be picked up for less than £20 I should think, which is less than twice what I paid for an uncased example in 1979.
