Abstract: From a development of an original idea due to Schwinger, it is shown that it is possible to recover, from the quantum description of a degree of freedom characterized by a finite number of states (QTR{it}{i.e}., without classical counterpart) the usual canonical variables of position/momentum QTR{it}{and} angle/angular momentum, relating, maybe surprisingly, the first as a limit of the later.
