Dear petar.mne, I hope that I have got it right:
Ottoman Empire, Sultan Murad IV b. Ahmed I, Date?, AR Akce, Kastamonu? mint (AH 1032-1049/1623-1640 AD)
Obverse (First photo):
Inside a circle, beading around:

احمد خان  , Ahmed I, Khan
Reverse (Second photo): Inside a circle, beading around:
عز نصره  , Azza Nasrahu (May he be victorious)

Mint and date at the bottom, not visible. May be the mint is " Kastamonu قسطموني ", not sure?
Murad IV (مراد الرابع) was the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1623 to 1640, known both for restoring the authority of the state and for the brutality of his methods. Sultan Murad IV was born in June 26, 1612 in Istanbul. His father is Sultan Ahmed I and his mother is Mahpeyker Kosem Sultana. His mother is Greek originated. Murad was a tall, huge man with a round face. He is one of the most powerful Sultans of the Ottoman history. He was very good at archery. He was so intelligent, strong, courageous and energetic.

I replaced the pictures with new ones but they are also a little out of focus I think.

But thank you, I think you're right that it's Murad IV.

Dear petar.mne, that is better. The mint is not clear but it may be " Kastamonu قسطموني ".
