They looked a lot like this above, these tokens where part of a recent find found in Basur Hoyuk which is in the South-east of Turkey:
"Small carved stones unearthed in a nearly 5,000-year-old burial could represent the earliest gaming tokens ever found, according to Turkish archaeologists who are excavating early Bronze Age graves..."
"...Some depict pigs, dogs and pyramids, others feature round and bullet shapes. We also found dice as well as three circular tokens made of white shell and topped with a black round stone"
