Flag of the Prime Minister, similar colour scheme as the national flag, but the PM's flag carried the state arms in silver, though I believe this will change soon (August - Independence Day) to become constructed of golden thread.

The state arms of Pakistan are presented on the website of the government of
Pakistan as follows.
"The State Emblem of Pakistan, which was approved by the
Central Government in 1954, symbolises Pakistan's ideological foundation, its
cultural heritage, the guiding principles and the basis of its economic
strength. The four ingredients of the Emblem are:
- the crescent and star
crest at the top is a traditional symbol of Islam;
- the shield in the
centre, with four partitions, shows main crops of Pakistan which signify the
strong agriculture based economy;
- the wreath surrounding the shield is a
reproduction of the floral designs used in traditional Mughal art. Its inclusion
in the design reminds of the nation's cultural heritage
- the scroll
supporting the shield carries the Urdu version of Quaid-e-Azam's famous motto
--- "Faith", "Unity", Discipline. These three words articulate the guiding
principles for the nation Unlike other heraldic devices which are emblazoned
with symbols representing mythological, historical and geographical features,
Pakistan's state emblem gives due recognition to the country's source of
inspiration, strength and tradition."

Here is an actual flag, with the coat of arms and the lettering in
golden outline instead of the white outline in which we portray it:
