When a permanent with persist returns to the battlefield, it’s a new object with no memory of or connection to its previous existence.

If a token with no -1/-1 counters on it has persist, the ability will trigger when the token is put into the graveyard. However, the token will cease to exist and can’t return to the battlefield.
