This or similar I think. Better pictures would help.
The coin looks extremely simmilar, but i think the cross looks a bit off? I may be incorrect though, heres a better image.

Although the backside is completely gone.
Despite multiple inconsistencies, the coin on my image looks way too similar to the Löwenpfennig. Even though some parts are off, the key details are a match. Ill leave this as solved as i think it was just a variation of the coin, not an entirely different one.
Get @silvergeek opinion.
Yeah I would identify it as a coin from same place and time period but I would double check auctions and see if they have a version with a cross at the right under a different catalog number

Ok found a pdf of the book it would be catalog number 1626-1629 unfortunately the book does not have pictures of any but the 1629 so I can not tell what type you have because it just is differentiated between the style of the crosses.
If I were to make a visual guess based on discription I would say 1626 or 1627 the 1626 is a short shield and the 1627 a long but I have no example to tell if this is long or short

So the coin is the Löwenpfennig, but a different variation? And as the book says its catalog number 1626/1627, would it differ in price due to being a different type?

Probably would not differ in price often these don’t have enough of a collector base that will pay up for a specific variation. Also the ones with crosses and not a clover are supposed to be made in Freiburg Not Zwickau and schneeberg
