All I can read is some of the back, which says Korea, 1951-1952 as well as the large Korea on the front...

That is very interesting. I would love to hear the story behind the engraving.

You might try a pencil rubbing on some paper over the coin to enhance the graffiti.

I played with it in Photoshop and it looks to me like:

Obverse - Antonito Cobrals Korea
Reverse - RYF Korea 1951 1952

I am pretty confident on everything but the last name.

Maybe it's Colorado?

There is a town named Antonito, in CO.

Just throwing it out there as a possibility, maybe RYF was homesick.

After taking another look at the coin, that makes sense to me. Well done!
