Relations to other Regular Maps

Its dual is the dodecahedron.

Its Petrie dual is N14.3′.

It is a 2-fold cover of the hemi-icosahedron.

It can be 2-split to give R9.15′.

It can be rectified to give the icosidodecahedron.

Its 2-hole derivative is S4:{5,5}.

Its full shuriken is C12{6,4}5.

It can be stellated (with path <>/2) to give S4:{5,5} . The density of the stellation is 3.
It can be stellated (with path <1/-1>) to give S4:{5,5} . The density of the stellation is 3.
It can be stellated (with path <1,-1>/2) to give the icosahedron . The density of the stellation is 7.
It can be derived by stellation (with path <1,-1>/2) from the icosahedron. The density of the stellation is 7.
