Sicherman dice /ˈsɪkərmən/ are a pair of 6-sided dice with non-standard numbers–one with the sides 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4 and the other with the sides 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8. They are notable as the only pair of 6-sided dice that are not normal dice, bear only positive integers, and have the same probability distribution for the sum as normal dice. They were invented in 1978 by George Sicherman of Buffalo, New York. (Wikipedia).
These dice, which come as a d3/d12 pair, are a funkier alternative to Sicherman dice: they give the same result as adding two ordinary six-sided dice. The d3, which has the standard numbering for a d3, is also available by itself. http://thedicelab.com/Recast2d6d3.html

Brian Hopkins - Difference Dice - G4G13 April 2018
Among the many amateur mathematicians championed by Martin Gardner, George Sicherman is now known for two 6-sided dice that are not labeled 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 yet have the same frequencies of sums as a standard pair. Finding such dice for various sizes is a nice application of factoring poly

Alexandre Muñiz - How to Roll Two Dice - CoM Oct 2021
Players of games like Monopoly and Settlers of Catan roll a pair of six-sided dice and use the sum of the results. There are a number of designs for non-standard dice that give the same distribution of results. One well known one is the pair of Sicherman dice, created by Col. George Sicher
