I have this coin that is AE27, and 10.2 gm.

It has a bust of ? with the word CAESAR above on one side, and on the Reverse there appears to be an image of Sol?

Does anyone recognise this coin, please?

Emperor Claudius.
Here is the reverese. Minerva striding right brandishing javelin.

Yours is a bit banged up but still a solid example.
Whenever I get done with Siliqua and coins of Magnus Maximus I think I will buy some more Julio Claudians

Many thanks A.M., Ski,. (Thanks to you) I found it at Ric 116.

It is a pity it isn't a more fine example and it could have been worth more than 'nothing'.(Lol)

These tend to go easy on one's wallet( compared to Caligula's Vesta Asses) , a good quality one can be found for about $75-100. I am sure that if you look in the right places you can get a nice one for a good price.These are very plentiful compared to Claudius's Denarii and Sestertii, I do remember an article somewhere were it states that these ( Claudian Asses) were very popular with the Legionaries posted in Britannia and on the Rhine frontiers. That may be why the are so plentiful.
