well this gold peso ring was my mom's the gold dos Peso dates 1945, the outside of the ring is roughly made but overall a nice ring to have

Nice! Did she get this because she liked coins? or gold jewelry?

not much is known about why she got the ring or where from

1945 is the restrike year for these, so it was probably minted in the 60s. Rings are very common uses for these. I've got a very similar one too.

were these rings made to look hand made cause my mom's looks like a hand made ring

I have a gold ring from my grandfather that looks very similar (handmade style). No coin, just a monogram and diamond, but the ring part is very similar. I think maybe his was made in the 1960s. So that would fit with your story timeline.

It's funny how certain coins appear in jewelry while others never do. Perhaps this was given to her as a gift. Or perhaps she bought it as a gift for someone else (you?)

best guess as to who gave it to her would most likely be my dad, but why and where remain unknown

My mother has (and still occasionally wears) a pair of earrings made with two of those "1945" 2-pesos coins.

As restrikes, they don't have much numismatic appeal, perhaps, but they're nice affordable gold bullion coins and they do look great in jewelry, being just the right size. I like them better than the little gold Pandas.

to me it's priceless as it's a reminder of my mom

Indeed. When I saw the coin, I immediately thought of my own Mom.

I like just about everything better than Pandas! I like these better than many other gold coins. Mexican coins have some fantastic designs IMO.
