Two reasons I am not sure it is a star and if it is the only Adherbal I know that has a star has the horse prancing/pacing l, this one is clearly galloping, see the link below.

your observation about the walking of the horse really interests me... i'll study better my coin and will tell you!

If it were Mycipsa, would it be an interesting coin?

In my mind yes, but then I am a sucker for all things Numidian.

Some background on the man that might interest you, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micipsa
