Citadel Token variation
Posted: Tue Nov 25, 2014 5:08 am
Its been a while since I looked through my collection of Citadel Tokens. I finally decided to try and organize what I have, to see if I should open a sealed box of them to complete what I still needed.
For those who collect these, you know there were three series. "Alpha" were all black & white, with black borders around the edges of the tokens. There were 11 different tokens. "Beta" was the same artwork, except no outside black borders. Unlimited went color for most of the tokens. Unlike Beta, in Unlimited there were alternate arts for many of the tokens. There were 14 different token groups with a total of 30 different artworks.
Two of the three carryover black tokens (Caribou-1 and Citizen-1) apparently saw the artwork stay exactly the same from Beta to Unlimited. One of the three carryover black tokens (Thrull-1) saw the artwork enlarged in size from Beta to Unlimited. Some of the other beta tokens, like Minor Demon and Tetravite, saw both a color change and the enlarged artwork in Unlimited.
Anyway, in sorting my tokens I found a few Tetravite tokens that were brown in color (like Unlimited) but had the smaller artwork (like Beta).

This variation is not shown on the site. Because of the color it has to be an Unlimited variation. I was wondering if anyone else has other similar variations of the Minor Demon, or other variations not listed.
