• Abstract: Coherent states bridge the gap between quantum and classical physics, but their overcomplete and nonorthogonal nature makes it difficult to identify the minimal discrete set needed to reconstruct quantum information. Finite spin-coherent tomography and discrete coherent-state operator bases are known, but here we address the more specific rank-resolved problem of preserving the canonical contravariant-symbol representation. We show that the canonical finite coherent-state formula reconstructs every operator in the rank-$S$ sector exactly if and only if the sampling points form a spherical $(2J+S)$-design. We call the associated configurations spin-coherent quantum designs. We further give a fully explicit positive-weight Gauss-Legendre construction that avoids the need for an equal-weight spherical design. Together, these results establish a unified framework for reading out physical observables from a handful of measurement samples, playing for spin systems the role that the so-called von Neumann lattice plays for canonical coherent states. Finally, we derive practical protocols for estimating moments of spin operators from these constructions, with direct applications to polarimetry, magnetometry, and quantum state tomography.
