The polio capsid has an icosahedral construction with 12 vertices defining 20 triangular faces. Notice that the larger blue mesas protruding on the surface have 5-fold symmetry. These are pentagonal capsomeres at the 12 vertices. The capsid is composed of 180 protein chains totaling about 377K non-H atoms.
