This is my short list ..
Countries not in Eurasia or the Americas with coins 30mm or larger and not bordering 6 or more countries and don't use pound, dollars or francs.

Djibouti (French Somaliland) (Rupee) (silver only) (30.5-32mm)
Italian Eritrea (Lire) (silver only) (40mm only)
Kenya (Rupee) (silver only) (31mm only and only 1 coin)
Morocco (Rial) (silver and bronze) (30 to 38.9mm)
Italian Somaliland (Rupia) (silver and bronze) (30 to 31mm)
Tunisia (Rial until 1891) (silver only) (31mm only)

NumisEd I think you can delete your question, going by the only option I found.

Old maps of Africa might help some from the time period 1887 to 1918...
(This helps with question 1...)

So could be one of these, but going by Mrwhatisit's hint, maybe not.

Italian Eritrea (Lire) (silver only) (40mm only)
Morocco (Rial) (silver and bronze) (30 to 38.9mm)
Tunisia (Rial until 1891) (silver only) (31mm only)

So disregarding my previous list.
It could now be one of these.
Anyone have a good map of Africa circa 1890.

Eritrea
Ethiopia
German East Africa
Morocco
Mozambique
Sudan
Tunisia

From what I can find, I think German East Africa and Sudan would be out though.
