This one was sold to me as a  crusader imitation. It looks like a dirham of Najm AlDin Ghazi I. Any help is appreciated and thank you for looking

It is not a crusader imitation, but pure Artuqid dirhem of Najm al Din Ghazi I , mint of mardin. I have a goo example.

My friend Bakkar 's input is 100 % correct. +++

He  forgot to tell you ( I would also forget too ..  Islamic coins .. a big ocean ) , that your Dirham was struck under the last Abbasid Imam or Qualifa or ruler of the Islamic state.
His name is Al-Musta'sim , written on the right side of Bakkar photo .

*Also , it is more correct to call them Artuqids , not Urtuqids ( as in most English references ).

The  sub- state of Artuqids under the Abbasid state is related to Artuq son of Akk sab.

Good day to all.

Added ; left photo ;
Al malik (King ) al naser   , ruler of Aleppo (one grandsons of Saladin )

Al malik ( King ) al sa' id  is  Najem Al Din Ghazi Al  Sa' id  ( نجم الدين غازي السعيد بن أرتق أرسلان ) (1239-1260) ( who struck this coin )

Myself , I would like to know what written on my coin , more than reference numbers that is why , I added .
