# DenomsMetadata queries the client metadata of a given coin denomination.

`GET /cosmos/bank/v1beta1/denoms_metadata/{denom}`

## Request

- The document declares no server URL.

      - `denom` string: denom represents the string name of the given denom unit (e.g uatom).
      - `exponent` integer: exponent represents power of 10 exponent that one must raise the base_denom to in order to equal the given DenomUnit's denom 1 denom = 1^exponent base_denom (e.g. with a base_denom of uatom, one can create a DenomUnit of 'atom' with exponent = 6, thus: 1 atom = 10^6 uatom).
      - `aliases` string[]
    - `base` string: base represents the base denom (should be the DenomUnit with exponent = 0).
    - `display` string: display indicates the suggested denom that should be displayed in clients.
