I can see the Star of David on the reverse.

That symbol is widely used in North Africa, in particular Morocco.

Isn't it Ayyubid? That's Syriesque.

Syrian indeed, it's a dirham struck at Alep (Haleb /حلب ) by the Ottoman Sultan Ahmad I.
The mintname is very clear (

) in center of the star, the date is just under but not clear ( $:-\$ )
On the other face there is the tughra of AhmadI.
