PLATINUMMenē’s desktop spinning top
Menē gives platinum the form of a small desktop spinning top. A slender stem, flared disc and pointed contact tip bring the precious metal into a specific playable object.
Menē offers separate gold and platinum configurations of its Spin Top. The platinum page identifies the material as Pure Platinum and specifies an approximate height of 30 mm and width of 26.5 mm. This guide uses that official platinum product page and its imagery as the reference.
Angled imagery from Menē’s official platinum product page. The text explains the mark’s historical context; it is not an independent composition test.
From the stem to the contact point
In the official product image, the stem meets a flared circular disc that tapers to a point below. A separate scene shows a finger above the small top as its tip meets a flat surface, illustrating its use as a desktop object.
These are observations of the shape and an official scene image. No spin video has been viewed and no TRB spin-time or stability test has been performed for this guide. The material name alone does not establish that this top will outspin another.
What 30 mm and 26.5 mm describe
The official page gives an approximate height of 30 mm and width of 26.5 mm. These describe the object’s size; they are not weight figures or measurements made by TRB.
The page notes that products are priced by weight, but this record does not establish the weight of an individual top. A figure from an older collection page, the gold configuration or a market price is not substituted for a confirmed platinum weight.
The MENĒ 24K mark in the photograph
An angled image on the platinum product page carries a MENĒ 24K mark. The brand’s official 2017 press package provides a useful historical reference: page 5 shows a ring with that same mark, while its description and metal-value field both identify platinum.
That official counterexample shows why the mark in an older brand image cannot, by itself, reclassify an item as gold. This guide identifies the top images as imagery from the official platinum product page. The mark is not treated as independent proof of the pictured object’s purity, nor as evidence of one marking policy across every period.
Keep the product and material evidence distinct
Platinum is the element Pt. Pure Platinum is Menē’s description of this product, while the Royal Society of Chemistry provides background on the element. Neither is an assay of the object pictured here.
This desktop top is a separate product case. Its existence does not establish that another maker’s announced platinum prototype was completed, or that another product shares its dimensions, weight or way of playing.
