When a permanent with persist returns to the battlefield, it’s a new object with no memory of or connection to its previous existence.
Safehold Elite
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.
If a creature with persist stops being a creature, persist will still work.
