Summary

Description
English: A polygon with Heesch number 6, the highest finite such number known, and its coronas. This polygon was found by Bojan Bašić in 2020 and can be obtained by gluing together 6 regular hexagons, 11 equilateral triangles, and half an equilateral triangle. On the left: The white tile in the middle surrounded by six coronas. There is a total of 169 tiles. The individual coronas are shown on the right. The tiles of each corona are colored the same.
