A demon's eyes, a deer's horns, and a camel's head. A clam's belly, a snake's neck, and a bull's ears. The tiger's paws, the eagle's claws, and the carp's scales. When these many physical characteristics are combined, a legendary dragon from Chinese mythology is created.

I like this series as it has more details, including the other animas in the lunar calendar. It is reminiscent of the Royal Australian Mint Lunar Series.
It is interesting because it also has the Bagua.
The bagua is a set of symbols from China intended to illustrate the nature of reality as being composed of mutually opposing forces reinforcing one another. Bagua is a group of trigrams—composed of three lines, each either "broken" or "unbroken", which represent yin and yang, respectively.[1] Each line having two possible states allows for a total of 222 = 8 trigrams, whose early enumeration and characterization in China has had an effect on the history of Chinese philosophy and cosmology.
The trigrams are related to the divination practice as described within the I Ching and practiced as part of the Shang and Zhou state religion, as well as with the concepts of taiji and the five elements within traditional Chinese metaphysics. Source
Two days ago, this news came out from https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/news/content/ar-BB1iQZGC
Much attention has been drawn to the finding of a 240 million year old fossil that bears a striking resemblance to a Chinese dragon myth.
