Mystery sequence in Dec. MAA Focus Magazine

[N. J. A. Sloane]

Dear Seqfans,  Here is an opportunity for some real publicity
for the OEIS, if someone can explain a certain set of 20 numbers
on a three-hundred year-old gold icosahedral box.

Tony Noe noticed them in the M.A.A. Focus magazine, and wrote saying:

> On page 13 of this month's issue, there's a sequence that appears on the
> faces of a gold icosahedron.  The numbers are
> 11,20,21,31,41,51,61,71,81,91,101,201,301,401,501,601,701,801,901,202.

I looked at the article, and I think they should have put the numbers
in increasing order (they are around the faces of an icosahedron,
so there no other natural ordering).  But since the magazine 
put them in a strange order, i will include two
versions of it in the OEIS, as follows:

%I A124250
%S A124250 11,20,21,31,41,51,61,71,81,91,101,201,202,301,401,501,601,701,801,
%T A124250 901
%N A124250 Finite set of numbers found inscribed on faces of a 17th or 18th century Mughal gold box in the shape of an icosahedron, from the treasury of Tipu Sultan.
%C A124250 The significance of these numbers is not known.

The magazine asks MAA members for an explanation of the numbers.
