There's a presidential gold-colored dollar series being produced by the US Mint now. They are going in order, from the start, releasing four new ones each year. Truman's should be released in 2016, provided the world does not end per the Mayan calendar before then.
Franklin Roosevelt and Harry Truman
Ugh!! I was given a gold dollar coin with Harry Truman on it as change at a local gas station. I was a bit curious because I'd never seen one with Truman on it and the attendant at the station was quite anxious to give it as change instead of giving me a dollar bill. There was a line of people behind me so I just took it and went on my way. Now that I know there never was one, it really frustrates me. It was only a dollar, but it's the principle behind it!
The value of a 1945 gold peso can vary depending on its condition, rarity, and current gold market prices. As of now, the value of a 1945 gold peso typically ranges from $50 to $150. It's recommended to have the coin's authenticity and quality verified by a professional numismatist before selling or buying.
This sounds like a commemorative medal, perhaps the "Inauguration" medallion after assuming the Presidency upon the death of Franklin D. Rosevelt. As such it has no numismatic value, as it is not legal tender. It probably does have "book value" to collectors of Presidential medals, but I'm unfamiliar with price guides for that. (Other FAQ Farmers can edit this last bit to substitute an accurate value. :) )
For the gold itself it would be worth about $100 but for the coin probably $45-$75 depending on the condition. It worth probably $70 - $90 retail.
