One idea is to have an auto-incrementing field in the database table where the token is inserted. Could be the primary id of the table.

Encrypt and Decrypt this field value on the fly when sending the token to the client. A fast symmetric cipher could be used for the purpose. The key for the cipher would have to be persisted somewhere (perhaps it could be specified in the config file), so that it survives restarts.
