It's a thin hexagonal nut. A metric(?) stainless steel locknut would do temporarily until the proper part becomes available.Just measure the Drive Shaft diameter, forget about the Handle Retainer and go fishing. ;)

Just remember that it is a left hand thread so be careful if you do decide to put a stainless steel lock nut in temporarily.
