Recently I was able to aquire a handful of old BTX chips and a few sets.
These are the
first chips that were released under the MoonBits label and
only 50 in existance!
I added all available info to the MoonBits reference thread:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/reference-moonbits-5114574M0001 - M0175

Info: Old hologram.
Note: All chips from this rare series were registered for the airdrop, which took place in early 2018.
For that reason, each chip is "overloaded" by the factor of 2.848
So the 1 BTX chip is actually loaded with approx. 2.848 BTX, the 2.5 with 7.1209 BTX, the 5.0 with 14.2418 BTX and the 10 BTX chip with 28.4836 BTX.

IMPORTANT INFOThese chips were create before the softfork in July 2018, which changed the public address format of Bitcore BTX addresses to avoid confusion with the original Bitcoin format.
