In addition to the PDF cryptoguyz_collectibles posted, here's another one which contains the final mintage info on pg. 7. https://www.bitcoinsuisse.ch/assets/pdf/BTCS_BitcoinCertificates_EN.pdf
These were really remarkable paper wallets in that they were issued by a registered financial institution and are very high quality. They contained two signatures of the officers in the company, providing an extra assurance of secure handling of private keys.
I sent an email in December of last year and they informed me they were sold out of the first series, and would be restarting production in 2017. Since then I have not heard about any updates on this second series. Lately it looks like they have been very active helping broker ICO fundraisers.

I was fortunate to buy a few both funded and unfunded, and they are really really nice. I've even redeemed a few and they were in tact
I have no idea whether they sold the number they quote in that document.
I took a few pictures of one of my unfunded certificates. They are a heavier material, not sure what but it doesn't feel quite like paper, with embossing and a small hologram. Very sharp printing that's held up nicely, though I keep mine in sleeves. To redeem there is a private key concealed beneath a scratch away surface that is beneath a perforated section you need to tear away. My experience has been that the QR code for the private key is impossible to scan with a phone, but the private key is quite legible.
I think they were a bit of a hidden gem that slipped away before most folks were aware of them.. I'd buy a new issue but I don't think they have sold them or stated plans to sell them in years..

Is anyone familiar with Bitcoin Suisse Ag paper wallets, like how many were made, if they have any value? I can't seem to find much info?
