Ha, I'm not sure who ran the fastest, it or me!
Is gorilla tape the same as gaffer tap?

Gorilla tape also comes in white (for reference only... doubt you'll want it in white!) Not seen it in clear myself.
For a hole the size of a coin, there's no need for patches of anything. The Gorilla tape will do the job perfectly on it's own, stuck directly over the hole. Round off all corners (or cut into a circle/oval). Do both sides of the hole.
Maybe consider Gorilla underneath, and Tenacious tape on top (also rounded off), as I have successfully done, but I'm sure the Gorilla tape will be fine on top too. Maybe decide which looks better on top, as they'll both work. Mine was on a SIG, so hidden by a carpet. (6" slash - neither tape has ever come off, and it's never leaked!)
Ooh... Gorilla Tape may seem expensive, but it really is good stuff. I've folded and taped a few footprints with it (to reduce the size), so always getting wet etc, and I haven't had any peel back/off to date, and some of them were done 3 years ago now!
Ooh... again... when you've used that 0.005% of the roll of tape, shove the remainder in a sealable sandwich bag/similar, and leave it in the spares bag/box, or in with the pegs/mallet etc, so you always have it to hand when away. I hear it's also good for taping up exploded air beam sleeves, amongst many other uses!! 
Gorilla tape is also available off the shelf in half-decent DIY warehouses and tool shops... not sure how price compares with the likes of Amazon etc.

We had a mouse chew a hole about the side of a saucer in our awning groundsheet. Had a carpet on top so didn't notice till we packed up!!

I'm not sure who was the most surprised, it or me!
