An extension (K(X)|K, v) of valued fields is said to be valuation\ntranscendental if we have equality in the Abhyankar inequality. Minimal pairs\nof definition are fundamental objects in the investigation of valuation\ntranscendental extensions. In this article, we associate a uniquely determined\npositive integer with a valuation transcendental extension. This integer is\ndefined via a chosen minimal pair of definition, but it is later shown to be\nindependent of the choice. Further, we show that this integer encodes important\ninformation regarding the implicit constant field of the extension (K(X)|K, v).\n
