Hello,

On obverse, is it the english sentence : 

Grin & Garden

Or some wording in german ?

 No, not Grin, as that is English word - 

it is Grün which is Green.  Also Garden is English, and is Garten word. 

 So the packaging reads Grün & Garten

 So yes, the Grün & Garten packaging can be translated as Green & Garden.  - 

or Greenery as the other reply said.

Thanks for answers. I'll modify the Numista sheet accordingly.

Then, I don't know why I was not informed that replies were done in my thread ?
