Generally extremely fine, toned. (6) Frederick John Dean was born 3 January 1895 at Plymouth. A civil engineer by profession, he was commissioned as a Sub Lt 7 July 1915, RNVR. He transferred to the RNAS 25 June 1916 and appears to have served largely as an Intelligence Office and Observer. He spent 70 hours patrol flying in RNAS seaplanes, and later in WWI spent 100 active service hours flying in the Dardanelles over a twelve month period from December 1915, based aboard HMS Europa. He had been recommended for promotion to the rank of Captain (Temporary) in early 1918, but appears to have transferred to the RAF late on in the war, and was mentioned in despatches 3 June 1919. He later joined the Devonshire and Cornwall Fortress Engineers, Royal Engineers during WW2, and it appears that he was involved in this role in the weeks preceding the vast amphibious assaults of D-Day, as his unit is believed to have assisted in the preparation of landing areas and training fortifications for use by the very same Allied forces. The sand dunes of Woolacombe, on the north coast, were fortified with mock German defences and Dartmoor was used, as it is today as a training area. A large area of the South Hams, lying just west of Dartmouth, was evacuated and used as a live fire area due to its similarity to Normandy. Such preparation was essential to the success of the operation itself. He was awarded the TD in 1938, and the MBE in 1939, whilst with this latter unit. His mother, Emily Dean [nee Coles], who was residing at Ford Park Road, Plymouth was killed during an air raid 21 March 1941 aged 69. His father Frederick John Dean died 7 April 1929, and Lieutenant Colonel Dean died in 1976. Sold with original bestowal document for the MBE in its original envelope, original framed MID certificate for WW1, WW2 Period Photo in Uniform, portrait photo in uniform, original photo in the cockpit of an interwar period aircraft, photograph from his flying licence, and a quantity of related research.

ANCIENT COINS, THE DAVID SELLWOOD COLLECTION OF PARTHIAN COINS (PART FOUR), Artabanus II (127-126 BC), Silver Tetradrachm, minted at Seleucia on the Tigris, diademed and long bearded bust right, reel-and-pellet border, rev Demeter enthroned left, holding wreath carrying Nike and cornucopia in right and left hands respectively, two line inscription ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΑΡΣΑΚΟY, letter Θ in field left, year ΖΠΡ = 187 SEM (126/5 BC) in exergue, 15.99g, 1h (S 18.1 var, Inter-regnal issue, dated variety with controller’s mark). Good fine / about very fine and extremely rare, one of only six known examples. Justin (42.2.1) intimates that the successor of Phraates II was his paternal uncle, Artabanus. He went to war with the Tocharian nomads and lost his life soon after a poisoned arrow wounded him in the arm. According to Sellwood, the S18 output was issued during an inter-regnum in Parthia when the mint authorities in Seleucia, “unsure of the political outcome, temporised by using a fictitious portrait of the recently dead king (Mithradates I)”. However, a small number of fragmentary cuneiform records register a “King Arsaces” at Babylon during March - July 126 BC who minted the undated S18.1 Tetradrachms, corresponding to year 186 SEM (autumn 127 BC to autumn 126 BC). This Arsacid prince was previously identified with Bagāyāsh/Bagasis, brother of Mithradates I and his appointed governor of Media Magna and Atropatene in 148 BC. However, further studies have revealed that Bagasis never ascended the Parthian throne as king and died shortly before the demise of Phraates II about autumn 127 BC. Hence the attribution to Artabanus (II) of the S18.1 (undated) and S18.1var. (dated 187 SEM) Tetradrachms who, according to Justin (42.2.1), succeeded Phraates II in late 127 BC - early 126 BC. On the historical significance of this issue see: Assar G.R.F., “Recent Studies in Parthian History: Part II”, The Celator. Journal of Ancient and Medieval Coinage 15.1 (2001), 17-27 and 41 (attributed to Bagasis); Assar G.R.F. “Recent Studies in Parthian History: Part III”, The Celator.
