Hi,
I would appreciate any help to identify this old silver coin.
It weights 1,0 gr. and it's diammeter is16 mm aprox.
It appears a swastika on the chest of the human figure.

Hallo Aidab,
das ist ein Pfennig aus Hessen. Heinrich I. 1264-1308., Münzstätte Wolfhagen, Hüftbild mit Schwert und Reichsapfel / Gelocktes Brustbild unter Dreibogen mit Turm und zwei Kreuzfahnen. Schütz 35.

Hi aidab,

an additional information: It's not a swastika on Landgrave Heinrich's chest.
It's a cross fibula which belonged to the fashion of that time and can be found on several medieval coins.
On your coin it really looks like a swastika, but here you can see a specimen of your coin type which clearly shows that it is a cross:
