We revisit the quantized version of the harmonic oscillator obtained through a q-dependent family of coherent states. For each q, 0<1, these normalized states form an overcomplete set that resolves the unity with respect to an explicit measure. We restrict our study to the case in which q{sup -1} is a quadratic unit Pisot number, since then the q-deformed integers form Fibonacci-like sequences of integers. We then examine the main characteristics of the corresponding quantum oscillator: localization in the configuration and in the phase spaces, angle operator, probability distributions and related statistical features, time evolution and semi-classical phase space trajectories. - Highlights: Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer Quantized version of the harmonic oscillator (HO) through a q-family of coherent states. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer For q,0<1 these normalized states form an overcomplete set that resolves the unity with respect to an explicit measure. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer q-Deformed numbers are Fibonacci-like integer sequences (1/q a quadratic unit Pisot number).
