Its 57 [[Cell (geometry)|cell]]s are [[hemi-dodecahedron|hemi-dodecahedra]]. It also has 57 vertices, 171 edges and 171 two-dimensional faces. The symmetry order is 3420, from the product of the number of cells (57) and the symmetry of each cell (60). The symmetry abstract structure is the [[projective special linear group]] of the 2-dimensional vector space over the finite field of 19 elements, L<sub>2</sub>(19). It has [[Schläfli symbol|Schläfli type]] {5,3,5} with 5 hemi-dodecahedral cells around each edge. It was discovered by {{harvs|first=H. S. M.|last=Coxeter|authorlink=Harold Scott MacDonald Coxeter|year=1982|txt}}.
