| Additional information |
The Danza de las Tijeras — Scissors Dance — is a ritual performance tradition originating in the Ayacucho and Apurímac highlands, practiced by male dancers (dansaq) who compete in increasingly extreme feats of endurance and skill while wielding a pair of metal blades in one hand. The Spanish colonial church actively suppressed it as devil worship for centuries, which drove the tradition underground and paradoxically preserved it in remote communities where ecclesiastical oversight was limited.
UNESCO inscribed the dance on its Intangible Cultural Heritage list in 2010, but this coin predates that recognition by thirteen years — part of a Peruvian series honoring indigenous traditions before international bodies had taken notice.
