# Coin Pair

In Crescent DEX, anyone can create a pair of two coins, which is an ordered pair. The ordered coin pair is unique in Crescent DEX, which means only a single pair of a given ordered coin pair is allowed. For example, Crescent DEX can have only one pair for `A-B` coin pair consisting of `Coin A` and `Coin B`. Crescent DEX can also have `B-A` coin pair, which is different from `A-B` coin pair.

The base coin is the first coin that appears in a coin pair quotation. Consequently, the second coin appeared in the pair is a quote coin.&#x20;

> In the pool of `bCRE-CRE`, the base coin is `bCRE` while the quote coin is `CRE`. The pool price `1.133` means, the base coin `1 bCRE` is traded against the quote coin `CRE` and exchanged for `1.133 CRE`.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.crescent.network/introduction/crescent-dex-legacy/coin-pair.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
