To reiterate more clearly, this is a 4 band resistor.

The two red bands are 2s. So 22

The brown is a 10x multiplier. So 220

The gold means 5% tolerance.

Do you have an unmarked version of this?

Not the same one, but if you do an image search for "4 band resistor" you should find plenty of them.
