What is the oldest coin you own that is neither copper nor silver?  

For purposes of this discussion, bronze counts as copper, and billon counts as silver.  Brass and copper-nickel, on the other hand, are acceptable.

Mine is an imperial Chinese cash from the Qianlong Emperor's reign, 1736-1796:

It is, what it is, or is it.


1 Mon from 1784-87 of the Japanese province Sendai made out of cast iron.
It is still in customs at Frankfurt am Main airport but it should get to me by tomorrow or the day after  :)

P.S.: shouldn't billon be counted as copper becasue it is mostly made out of it   :P
I think this is the one in my collection.

A lead coin from Southern India which circulated in 1st Century BC.

I'm not an expert in any kind of coins, but I reckon I'm good at research and will do my best to help. Feel free to tell me my identifications/valuations/gradings are wrong. It's the only way I'll learn.
I forgot my other Japanese Mon  8~  and can go a good hundred years further back
EDIT: it also doesn't look like cast copper or bronze in the little hole at the side but I could be wrong

1 Mon - Japan - [1636-1656]

Can you share all images (obv,rev) of the 5 Malay coins? I might be able to help. ;)
Do checkout my coins for trade. Also I have some stamps to trade with coins.
