Mar 16, 2019 at 16:30 comment added lytex These type of coherent states, in principle for an arbitrary Hamiltonian with pure point spectrum, are the Gazeau-Klauder coherent states. I'm not 100% sure if they are also valid when the classical Hamiltonian doesn't have action-angle variables, which is why I startted to investigate the Perelomov coherent states in the first place. Very interesting papers nonetheless.

Mar 16, 2019 at 13:55 comment added ZeroTheHero The strict definition would not work for this case, at least I don’t think, but you might find something directly useful in this older paper by Klauder ( arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/9511033) and also in the work of Veronique Hussin on coherent states.
Mar 16, 2019 at 11:47 comment added lytex I was thinking more about staying on the HW group but choosing a different Hamiltonian. Given the Coulomb 1-D Hamiltonian $H = p^2/2m + l^2/2r^2 - k/r$ for example, then the coherent states would be $\hat{T}(x, p)$ acting on the QHO ground state or acting on the Coulomb ground state? If we want minimum uncertainty then the "right" state would be the QHO ground state?
