From Wizards.com

For Avacyn Restored prerelease, WOTC sent out approximately 6,000 Helvaults globally for this exciting and unique Prerelease event. When players cracked open the Helvault they were greeted with this:
* 54 Oversized cards of Avacyn, Angel of Hope, Griselbrand, Sigarda, Host of Herons, Bruna, Light of Alabaster, Gisela, Blade of Goldnight
* 108 Double-sided Angel/Demon tokens
* 54 20-sided spindown life counters

We wanted to provide a unique Magic play experience for our players, so we made some Helvaults with special contents. Of the roughly 6,000 Helvaults we sent out, we selected 30 Helvaults to get this special treatment.
We picked randomly from our Advanced level WPN stores and sent the Premium Helvaults to their new home. These stores received Helvaults which had the following inside:

54 Foil Oversized cards of Avacyn, Angel of Hope, Griselbrand, Sigarda, Host of Herons, Bruna, Light of Alabaster, Gisela, Blade of Goldnight
* 108 Foil Double-sided Angel/Demon tokens
* 54 20-sided spindown life counters
* 54 Promo Foils thematically tied to angels or demons
Each of those premium Helvaults included only 1 of 12 possible different promos from the Wizards of the Coast archives, a few of which were older judge promos.
We are very sensitive to how judge cards are distributed, and these were released in extremely small quantities for this one-off event.
