if you are auctioning the item in the picture, it is a 20 sided die (or "d20"). Based on the picture, It is not a Magic the Gathering counter (which is in a numerical order on the sides of the die), but can be used a bit more clumsily for life totals (which start at 20 and -normally- go down), you'll just have to "search" for the number each time. It looks like there are two pictures of the same die....but your comment and the title of the auction imply you get two. :) Great auction - fanned you!
