The only varieties for 1825 farthing I found in my books are:
(major) "D" struck over "U" in "DEI" which I don't think pertains to your coin;
(minor) leaves vary in the laurel on the obverse, but those are not listed individually.

If you're talking about Geo IV farthings in general, there were two major varieties of those, Pistrucci's 1821-26, and W.Wyon's 1826-30.

I notice that the '18' in the date 1825 is lower that the '25', and is the same as illustrated in Coincraft's Catalogue. If that is a variety, it may be the most common variety for that date. I may stand to be corrected on this point.

Considering the excellent condition of the piece, one wonders if it may have been struck as a proof, although Coincraft does not list an 1825 proof in copper, only gold.

From my catlogue:

1)obverse 1(most common)
2)5 over higher 5
3)D of DEI over U
4)obverse 2

Obverse 1-The leaf-midribs are single raised lines
Obverse 2- 3 lowest leaves have incluse midribs.

I think it is the most common variety but still eye catching.
