A few years ago I found near the dutch city of Utrecht this lead seal. It was used on documents (bulls) from the Vatican. On the front there is the name of the pope:
INNO
CENTIVS
PP IIII
Innocent Papa Patria IV
On the other side there are 2 heads of Saint Paul and Saint Peter with the letters SPASPE (Sanctus Paulus Apostulus Sanctus Petrus Episcopus). The diameter is 38 mm or 1,5 inch.
Pope Innocent IV sent several bulls to the catholic world:
