That is pretty cool. Definitely not a common sight!
The coin was not split during striking, but rather sometime after circulating for a small period. That conclusion is determined by the even circulation for both sides of the coin. If it was split as an uncirculated coin, the wear would not be identical. Additionally, if the pieces were split upon striking, they would be separated from the get-go and almost immediately lost from each other.
