Coherent states $(CS)$ of the $SU(N)$ groups are constructed explicitly and their properties are investigated. They represent a nontrivial generalization of the spining $CS$ of the $SU(2)$ group. The $CS$ are parametrized by the points of the coset space, which is, in that particular case, the projective space $CP^{N-1}$ and plays the role of the phase space of a corresponding classical mechanics. The $CS$ possess of a minimum uncertainty, they minimize an invariant dispersion of the quadratic Casimir operator. The classical limit is ivestigated in terms of symbols of operators. The role of the Planck constant playes $h=P^{-1}$, where $P$ is the signature of the representation. The classical limit of the so called star commutator generates the Poisson bracket in the $CP^{N-1}$ phase space. The logarithm of the modulus of the $CS$ overlapping, being interpreted as a symmetric in the space, gives the Fubini-Study metric in $CP^{N-1}$. The $CS$ constructed are useful for the quasi-classical analysis of the quantum equations of the $SU(N)$ gauge symmetric theories.
