Pound (Sterling) and two pound coins, euro and two euro coins, higher denominations are paper (fractional ones are coins).
Pound notes were withdrawn some 25 years ago, having been replaced by the coin (with some opposition), the two pound coin was introduced about 12 years ago. As far as I recall the two euro coins were introduced at hthe same time as all the others.
(Smaller denominations were once notes. I remember 10 shilling (half a pound) notes, they were retired with decimalisation in the late 60s.)
