The one on the right is indeed "Crusader": it's from the Principality of Antioch. The depiction of the prince in profile as a "knight in chain mail armour" is quite distinctive of this series. I own a similar piece and a picture of my coin can even be selected among the pre-downloaded user avatars here on the forum.

The coin on the left is not Crusader, except in the general sense of dating from the Crusader period. It's from the Bishopric of Valence, in France. Again, the angel (which has always to me looked more like a bat) is quite distinctive. I only know this particular piece because I happen to own one of these, too and wrote a short article about it for my coin club magazine a long time ago.
