This set of tokens was made by Citadel Gaming, Inc. in 1995. Tokens were made for every token-generating card up through Fallen Empires. These tokens were packaged in a plastic case that held 270 tokens. The tokens were sold in game stores for twenty-five cents each.

Citadel Magic Tokens Box Label

The plastic box had 18 receptacles, each of which held 15 tokens of the same type, but with random artwork (for the ones that had multiple artworks). The tokens were first sold at PacificCon in September 1995, and in game stores afterwards.

Citadel tokens went through three separate "printings". The first printing, which we can call "Alpha", consisted of eleven tokens and was printed only in black. The distinguishing feature of "Alpha" is that it had black borders. However, this printing proved unacceptable, and was never released. Most were destroyed. The second printing ("Beta") removed the black border, but was still printed only in black. The third printing added more tokens, alternate artworks, and multiple colors.
