As it has two ‘common’ sides, how would you know where it was minted? What was the reason for putting it under Vatican City?

It was attributed to the Vatican when it was sold by Heritage Auctions , whether this was done at time of auction or when it was graded by ANACS isn't stated. The other example I found online does not attribute the coin to a particular country.
If it is a Vatican issue for sure, perhaps the mules were included in mint sets or coin cards, and this is how it can be attributed?

We now have “eurozone” as an issuer … I'd suggest to dump this coin there ;-)

Done. PCGS lists it as “1999-02” which presumably means 1999-2002, so this has been entered.
Type coin has been changed from Pattern to Standard Circulation Coin (nobody makes a pattern with two reverses of different types).
Used time zone is UTC+2:00.
Eurozone • 50 Euro Cents (Muled)
