On the side of the Memorial like yours and in the upper first bay on Lincoln cent reverse memorials they are usually referred to as "Hornets nest" die chips - fun find!

Yes... Not uncommon - as mentioned above - and good identification. Cheers, RickO

Some time ago, I posted a 2018 P nickel with a chip on the reverse that looked like a statue on the landing.
Fun finds.
