Are there any special Phyrexian tokens printed at all?

E.g.

        <card>
            <name>Phyrexian Goblin Token</name>
            <prop>
                <colors>R</colors>
                <type>Token Creature — Phyrexian Goblin</type>
                <maintype>Creature</maintype>
                <cmc>0</cmc>
                <pt>1/1</pt>
            </prop>
            <set picURL="https://c1.scryfall.com/file/scryfall-cards/large/front/f/e/feeae905-e456-4598-b3de-b339397983bf.jpg">NPH</set>
            <reverse-related>Chancellor of the Forge</reverse-related>
            <reverse-related count="x">Chancellor of the Forge</reverse-related>
            <token>1</token>
            <tablerow>2</tablerow>
        </card>

and

        <card>
            <name>Goblin Token</name>
            <prop>
                <colors>R</colors>
                <type>Token Creature — Goblin</type>
                <maintype>Creature</maintype>
                <cmc>0</cmc>
                <pt>1/1</pt>
            </prop>
              ...
            <set picURL="https://c1.scryfall.com/file/scryfall-cards/large/front/f/e/feeae905-e456-4598-b3de-b339397983bf.jpg">NPH</set>
              ...
            <token>1</token>
            <tablerow>2</tablerow>
        </card>

Edit: CLB actually introduced a "Phyrexian Best" token and NEC (and others) had Phyrexian Germ tokens.

So the answer is: it depends. For most Phyrexian variants, we don't have a special token art in the file.

I actually picked some by hand in my pr that came from the correct set, even though they didn't have the complete typeline they had more appropriate art.

I mean, this goblin looks very phyrexian to me, even though its typeline doesn't say it:

I decided it was safe to retroactively change these specific tokes as if they had been errata'd like the other cards, and considering they don't have art that says phyrexian on them as an alternative it's either this or no art.

Probably worth mentioning then in #85?

But I think we can keep the current ones and have working art.

With the heavy Phyrexian focus of the past few sets, there are actually now only 5 Phyrexian token entries that don't have card art that specifically says "Phyrexian": the Phyrexian Minion made by Phyrexian Processor, the 1/1 Phyrexian Myr made by a handful of cards, the 2 Phyrexian Wurms made by Wurmcoil Engine, and the Phyrexian Zombie made by Nested Ghoul.

The Minion token art is unique to a Phyrexian Duel Deck, the Myr and Zombie token art is from the Scars of Mirrodin block, and the art for the Wurms is the most modern variant of the only art they ever got so I'd say we are doing very well with appropriate Phyrexian art.
