Both are only as secure as their storage medium, and passphrase, if one was set during creation.
A paper wallet is more secure than a physical coin with addresses, as the former you can make yourself, on your own machine, while with a physical bitcoin you never know under what conditions it was manufactured and who could have copied the keys.
