Unknown PG numeric type 25

Question

I am working on a project with Python-Flask, SQL Alchemy, & Postgres qith psycopg2 package. The project's save the data in database successfully, but throws error "Unknown PG numeric type 25" while refreshing object.

        project.second_payment_percent = int(request.form.get("second_payment_percent", 0)) if request.form.get("second_payment_percent", 0) else 0
        project.second_payment_before = int(request.form.get("second_payment_before", 120))
        project.currency_id = int(request.form.get("currency_code"))
        project.security_deposit = int(request.form.get("security_deposit", 0))
        project.apa = int(request.form.get("apa", 0))
        project.vat_schema_id = request.form.get("vat_schema") if request.form.get("vat_schema", 0) else None

        if project.apa > 0:
            project.security_deposit = int(project.project_price) * int(project.apa) / 100

        db.session.add(project)
        db.session.commit()
        db.session.refresh(project)
        db.session.flush()

The error I get is

I have tried many things, but failed.

I guess one of the fields in your table is a text and you are trying to retrieve it as a number.

postgres=# select * from pg_type where oid = 25;
-[ RECORD 1 ]--+---------
typname        | text
