| 背面描述 | Frontal seated effigy of King Arthur, crowned with an ornate royal crown and robed in richly decorated regalia bearing a dragon motif on his tunic, occupying the gold centre disc. In his right hand he raises an upward-pointing sword, while his left hand rests upon a globus cruciger surmounted by a winged figure, symbolising sovereignty. The composition is boldly rendered in high relief against a polished field. The surrounding platinum outer ring bears the legend THE LEGEND OF KING ARTHUR · KING ARTHUR in the upper arc, flanked by small heraldic shield devices, with the denomination 1/4 CROWN inscribed at the base. |

The Isle of Man has issued bimetallic coinage with unusual metal pairings since the 1990s, and gold-in-platinum is among the rarest combinations produced for any circulating or collector series. KM#679 belongs to a run of Arthurian-themed quarter crowns that the Manx treasury issued through the mid-1990s, leaning on the island's position within the broader Celtic cultural sphere to justify the subject matter — Arthur's legendary associations with Britain's post-Roman northwest gave the series a plausible geographic rationale, however loosely applied.
Platinum as a ring metal keeps mintages extremely low; production costs alone discourage anything approaching mass issue.
