Truncated cuboctahedron
Model 477
Description
(6+8+12)-plane (2·24)-polygon. Polar figure of the disdyakis dodecahedron.
Additions
In 2016 it was noted that the model associated with the number 477 in the case didn't fit the description.
The (6+8+12)-plane polygon with (2·24) vertices is a truncated cuboctahedron and seems to be lost. It is one of 13 Archimedean solids.
The wrongly associated model can now be found with the number 485.
There are 11 Archimedean solids in the collection.

The model is lost.
