I suppose if a Gios owner out there is missing just one of his coins, this is going to make his day:

For those who don't know, it's a decorative molded plastic cap that fits into a special matching space in the top of the fork crown, on a limited range of Gios frames. Each crown gets two, but this auction is for one only.

When was that anyway - late 70s-early 80s maybe? This picture from '77 might show a coin, but the angle isn't good enough to tell:
