Similar,but not quite.

I think that you will find this cross to be a Hessen-Kassel officer's 25 year long service award, as awarded from 1849 to 1866. Notice the numeral “I” under the cypher. The Prussian crosses have a “III”.

Although awarded in gold, gold plated silver crosses are recognized; which I suspect yours might be. This is obviously a very rare bird - congratulations!

Best wishes,
