Die cracks on older Prussian coins?

    Hey everyone! New member here. I've looked at this web forum for several months now, and figured I may as well join. It's good to see one that still has quite a bit of activity.

    Anyway, I'm fairly new to foreign coins. I recently acquired this Prussian Silbergroschen for my history-savvy brother (he loves 19th Century history), and I noticed not one, not two, but five die cracks on the reverse. I know, for the time period, a die crack or two is pretty common, but I haven't seen this many on a single reverse. I'm not much into error coins anyway, but I haven't seen this many die cracks on a single coin. Is this common for Prussian coins?

    I've seen far worse on 1735 Sicilian silver tari coins
