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:

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

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.

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.
