Considering Joe's answers to the questions I am leaning toward Hawaii or Cuba.
Is this island in the Pacific Ocean?

Isn't there a few Caribbean Islands still fitting. Indeed, there are many, but if you scroll through Numista, you find that almost none of the British ones have coins dated between 1850 and 1900. I found Jamaica but nothing more. The French and Dutch islands are no go because the mints are in the eastern hemisphere. Also, EVERY SINGLE OPTION I CAN IMAGINE WAS MINTED IN A DIFFERENT COUNTRY. Newfoundland, PEI, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Cuba and Jamaica all fit this. Only Haiti is eliminated. I suggest we wait for answers to the two outstanding questions (tree on coin, and Pacific).

Does this coin have a depiction of a tree on it? Upon close inspection, I don't see any sort of depiction of a tree. But I know what you were getting at. You're barking up the wrong tree. Edited by joecoin

Hmmm. We should not forget the English speaking Bermuda Islands... Are you sure they speak English there? Quote:
I think @joecoin has the upper hand this round.
Where did we go wrong? You shouldn't have taken that left turn at Albuquerque. Edited by joecoin

It's halftime ladies and gentlemen.
RECAP:
Minted in the Western Hemisphere.
Not from the USA.
Minted after 1850.
Minted before 1900.
Not from a primarily Spanish-speaking, independent country.
The majority of this country borders (for which this coin was minted for) are above the equator.
Issued by an island which lies west of 30 degrees west longitude.
No depiction of a tree.
NOT in the Pacific.

All right, I'm down for the night. Big day tomorrow, going t the Ohio State Coin Show in beautiful Dublin, Ohio. (Home of Wendy's Hamburgers).
I'll be back late tomorrow night, so might not be able to answer any questions until Sunday.
I suggest everyone just relax. I believe this is the round where the game master finally succeeds.

OK, team. We have 5 denominations from which to choose, and about 15 dates for each denomination; everybody can find a catalog to see what we're up against. Ain't gonna be easy, but with 9 questions left, and then our final guesses, I think we can do it. The 1 cent coin is most common. Maybe we start there. If we strike out, then maybe we work on date since many of the silver coins pre-1890 are low mintage  @loonie, you've probably got a much better fix on how to proceed ... Edited by tdziemia

I'm in to beat the Master..........again. I have some some reference books right here. Yes Coach, lots of coins left, but we've had harder times.
We can get into mintage #'s, composition is silver except for the cent and 2 dollar coin. Maybe narrow down the year some more first? He may pull another gold one on us though. Mint marks may have a bearing,
