The legend rule (CR 704.5j) states that if a player controls two or more legendary permanents with the same name, that player chooses one and the rest are put into their owners' graveyards as a state-based action. The rule makes no distinction between token and non-token permanents — it applies to any legendary permanent.
A token is a permanent (CR 111.1), and a legendary token is therefore a legendary permanent. If its name matches another legendary permanent you control, the legend rule will trigger the next time state-based actions are checked (CR 704.3).
The key detail is the name match and the legendary supertype, not whether it came from a card or was created as a token. Both must be present for the legend rule to apply (CR 704.5j).
Example: You control Adanto, the First Fort (a legendary land), and your opponent creates a legendary creature token named Adanto via some hypothetical effect with the same name. That does not affect you — each player applies the legend rule to their own permanents. But if you somehow come to control both a Rhys the Redeemed card and a legendary Rhys the Redeemed token, you must choose one and put the other into the graveyard.
One edge case: if the legendary token has a different name from your other legendary permanent (e.g., a token that is a copy of a different card), then the legend rule does not apply, because the names don't match (CR 704.5j).
