With a cover by John and Laura Lakey featuring a very familiar enchanter (it looks exactly like Tim the Enchanter from Monty Python’s Quest for the Holy Grail) this is an adventure for Master level characters, from levels 28-32 in the BECMI system. 

As usual for adventures at such high levels this would either be played with the pre-rolled characters included or not played at all, as very few people went organically from level 1 to 28, I’m sure some did, but surely most players stayed at the Expert level or somewhere around there. 

Plotwise, the party finds itself in a city market when the city itself vanishes and the titular five coins fall from the sky, each coin stands for a powerful imprisoned wizard which the party must free in order to restore the city. As they do that they must fight off an army and towards the end travel into the sun to save the city. Later this same year the adventure featured here would be adapted into the 15th volume of the AD&D Adventure Gamebooks under the title The Vanishing City. We’ll get to that soon enough!
