COMMENTS

More explicitly, a(n) is the number of colorings with at most n colors of the faces of a regular icosahedron, inequivalent under the action of the rotation group of the icosahedron. It is also the number of inequivalent colorings of the vertices of a regular dodecahedron using at most n colors. - José H. Nieto S., Jan 19 2012
