Introduction:
Yubikeys were distributed by MTGOX with and without custom branding as early as July 2011. Mark Karpelès' 2020 Twitter post confirms this (see link below). The Yubikey in this auction is a version without the MTGOX logo, showing the serial number and corresponding QR code.

NFT
The MTGOX NFT is airdropped to all MtGox users through a verification process to ensure they are indeed MtGox customers. MtGox's NFT is an ERC-721 compliant NFT with a number of extra features intended to cover specific use cases. NFT numbers (uint256) will match the MtGox account number, and a hardcoded limit will prevent any NFT from being created outside the range of MtGox accounts. This minting method has owner-only limitation, and will allow an externally signed token to be issued to users who have completed verification.

Original Yubikey Shipping Document
Included is the original paper document sent out by MTGOX with the key. It references the YubiKey's matching serial #. This document is not a copy, it is the original item:



Images of the key in my possession:



I reached out to Yubikey support for verification of this key using the serial number. Yubikey support confirmed via serial number that this key was produced in September 2011. Since the serial number is public, anyone can verify this by contacting Yubikey support themselves.

Hmmm, looks like an ordinary Yubikey to me. Can you post a photo of the letter then sent with it.

Its not a modern Yubikey. It has no wifi or Y symbol on the touch contact, or a FIPS logo under the QR code.

EDIT1: Update: Yubikey confirms production date of Sept 2011. See OP.

EDIT2: Mark Karpelès Twitter post matches my Yubikey without logo. See OP.

Now that you have the correct information to verify its authenticity, do you know what you would want for this item?

Maybe auction it?

Yes, I am planning to auction it. If all goes well, this auction will include my MTGOX NFT,  an ERC-721 compliant NFT issued by MTGOX for verified former customers. I have applied to receive it, and the auction will be delayed until it is released to me. See here for details: https://www.mtgoxnft.net/l/en-US/

I'm surprised you haven't claimed your MtGox NFT yet, but that's awesome you plan to include it in the sale.  I claimed my MtGox NFT a while ago but I haven't seen much happen with it.  I occasionally check on it to see if it's morphed into something cool or the price has gone crazy...  I have always been surprised how much they are selling for.  People pretty much have no idea what they're going to be when all is said and done, but there's a market for them that seems to thrive.  Good luck!
