Two cannons used for currency in Southeast Asia. One barrelled cannon is from Malacca or Indonesia area, 22–24 cm (8.7–9.4 in) long, ca. 1700s. The three barrelled cannon is from Siam, 1600s-1700s, worth triple the value of the former, 24 cm (9.4 in) long. Both are functional.

Miniature meriam kecil (also known as currency cannon) is a type of very small cannon found on the Indonesian archipelago. Usually the length of these cannons is between 10–60 cm (3.9–23.6 in), with a caliber of 15 mm (0.59 in) or 16 mm (0.63 in),[1] and has been around for hundreds of years. They are designed and decorated like a normal sized meriam kecil (lela or rentaka).[2]
