The shell structure of valence electrons in icosahedral and cuboctahedral simple metal clusters is studied using the free electron model and the Huckel model. The shell structure in a 1415 atom icosahedral cluster has still similarities with that of a spherical cluster. The effect of the finite temperature on the shell structure in liquid clusters is discussed.
