Electronic – the value of this 5-band resistor

resistors

enter image description here

The colors are black, light green, green, red and silver (looks more like gray). I am not sure which side to start reading the values from. Both ends seem to be symmetrical.

Moreover, I have never seen light green on any color code charts. i am thinking that the manufacturer might have intended this to be yellow (but I am not sure).

I know the basic color code and have also worked with simple electronic circuits, but, this resistor got me really confused. I looked up various sites to do some research, but ended up with more questions than answers.

I agree with @brhans in the comments on the direction of reading. (Grey, Red, Green, Gold?) and I believe the black band is to indicate that it is a wirewound resistor.

You can see similar markings using the 5th black band in the datasheet for these resistors by Yageo
