The flag of Panamá (full name Nuestra Senora de la Asunción de Panamá, Our
Lady of the Ascension of Panama) is seen
here. (Source:
http://municipio.gob.pa/?p=411). The flag is the
Coat of Arms with and inscription above reading MUNICIPIO DE PANAMÁ in black
capital letters, and below it seems to have the motto LA MUY NOBLE Y LEAL CIUDAD
(the very noble and loyal city) also in black capital letters (according to the
official explanation of the CoA, found
here.
There seems to be also a gonfalon, as seen
here.

And also the Concejo Municipal (City Council) has its own gonfalon as well, as
seen
here. (Source:

The flag and gonfalon are a bit different.

I was in Panamá last week, and got the chance to go to the
Casco
Viejo (Old Quarter) which is the historic district of Panama City.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casco_Viejo,_Panama
There, outside the
Palacio
Municipal one can see the flag of the city, which features the coat of arms
but without any inscription (maybe it's possible that both flags, the one with
the inscription and the one without it, are official flags).

Here is a historical Coat of Arms, the first one Panama City
had had. The City was refounded again on August 19, 1519 by Pedro
Arias de Dávila (known as Pedrarias Dávila) and by Real Cédula
issued on December 7, 1519 (other sources claim September 15,
1521), the Spanish King Carlos V granted this city its arms, with
the motto "In nómine meo foveat me" (Help me on my own
behalf, or help me for my own sake).
