Overview

From Ukrainian Heraldry site:
"It is known since X century under the name "Muncash" (from Hungarian word meaning "a worker") as a settlement in a Carpathian lowland. The first written documents were found in chronicle "Gesta Hungarorum" in XII century. In 1376 it was given a right to have a seal with a picture of St.Martin, a bishop and patron of a local church."

Flag

The flag image is from the city website, but comparing with other versions it would appear that it is shown there with the staff on the right, so I have flipped it horizontally.
