Watch List notes:

Nero. A.D. 54-68. Æ as. 10.95 gm. 27 mm. Rome mint. Struck circa A.D. 67. His laureate head right; IMP NERO CAESAR AVG GERMANIC / The Temple of Janus, garland hung across closed doors to left, latticed windows on right; PACE P R VBIQ PARTA IANVM CLVSIT around; S C to either side. RIC I 367. Very Fine; bold portrait; brown patina with bits of stable verdigris; old peck marks on bust. Some flaws on the head make the bust at first appear radiate. An interesting type.The doors of the Temple of Janus were only closed during times of peace throughout the Roman Empire. This was not a frequent occurrence. Nero was the only emperor to depict the temple on coins, and the fact that the doors are shown as closed is most likely a political statement, not a factual one.
