Understanding block reward

I noticed this transaction doesn’t have any inputs. Is this due to the block reward? Was this a transaction for mining?

Maybe the ZEC comes from a private address, that’s why you can’t see the input.

Coinbase transactions (from mining) can’t contain JoinSplits, so this is not a coinbase transaction. @Edig’s explanation is correct.

This is how a block reward looks like
