1825/4 Capped Bust Quarter - 5 Over 4 - Close Date
One major variety is the 1825/4 Capped Bust Quarter. All 1825 quarters have an overdate error but this particular one has an 1825 date struck over an 1824 date which resulted in a "5" stuck over a "4". In addition: This particular variety has a close date where the numbers are more closely spaced together.

This variety can sometimes be known as the 1825/4/2 or 1825/4/3 and even 1825/3 as there are a number of different sub-varieties. So comparing the wide date vs close date is often the best way to identify this variety. The wide date is also the rarer and more valuable variety.
