I don't know that cross. It's not a reverse from Barcelona or Valencia. It is more like the cross of Sardinia or Navarre.
I agree that it looks a diner from somewhere in the Kingdom of Aragon.
Can you read any letter in the legend?

​it's quite hard because the coin is worn i think i can see above the potrait "DEI" with a regular cross (just above the crown)

There are also coins in Castile with that cross of Alfonso VI and Sancho IV, but I cannot find yours.
