Typically, societies mint their own coins, especially for the completion of large transactions, because it impacts more than just economics — it has marketing and public relations value.

To clear-up this mystery, let me suggest the EGYPTIAN GOLD coins were STOLEN by the Crusaders AND the reason Sultan Baybars attacked/destroyed the Crusader Castle was to recover the gold and punish the thieves.
