What is a Coinbase Transaction?

A coinbase transaction is the first transaction in each block and there is only 1 per block. Since it's the first transaction, the coinbase transaction can be valid without any inputs. The output of this transaction is used to send the block reward, the block subsidy plus the transaction fees to the miner's address. The transaction can have coinbase data, which is any input of 100 bytes in size. An example would be Satoshi's message in the Genesis block, "The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks".
