The "missing" area on the reverse is the lack of an obverse die in that area to cause the pressure that would fill in the details on the reverse. Very normal for a Cud, and actually one of the characteristics to look for in determining that it's genuine. Very nice find! After about 30 years of digging through cents, I have still never found one that large.
