This is the same diameter as a US quarter and was obviously mistaken for one. Came from our little local store in the middle of no where Montana.

That ship has had a run of 50 years or so (even if the monarch's portrait has evolved).
For some reason, I latched onto this coinage as a kid... Here's an earlier incarnation of that 25 cent piece:

It was nice to get it in change, but the way you got it sounds like way more fun.
