I've never seen a coin looking quite like that, but it definitely isn't from the Crusader period; the "crowned coat of arms" symbolism didn't become fashionable on coins until well after the Crusades were over. The lettering is odd, and the coat of arms is fuzzy and indistinct, which would be very unusual for a gold coin. It most closely resembles Portuguese "moeda" coinage from the 1600s and 1700s. I suspect your coin is a "jewellery imitation" of one of these.

I would say it comes from something like this:
