Not really understand this chart. The coinbase reward only can be 50 or 25 at this time. Why there are other value? Huh

As shorena says.

Strictly to my understanding the coinbase can (presently) be anything _up to_ 25 + sum of all transaction fees.

A miner can produce a block with a coinbase of 5BTC and it will be valid. It is just not really an economically sensible thing for them to do.
