You may be referring to an absolute possessive pronoun.

An absolute possessive pronoun is a possessive pronoun that stands alone, it takes the place of a noun that belongs to someone or something.

The absolute possessive pronouns are: mine, yours, his, hers, ours and theirs.

Example: Which car shall we take, yours or mine?

Another type of pronoun that shows possession is a possessive adjective, it is placed before a noun to describe that noun.

The possessive adjectives are: my, your, our, his, her, their, its.

Example: Shall we take your car or my car?
