The Kingdom of Denmark as an issuing authority. It was already consolidated in the 8th century. The current unified Kingdom of Denmark was founded or re-united by the Viking kings Gorm the Old and Harald Bluetooth in the 10th century. Originally an elective monarchy, it became hereditary only in the 17th century during the reign of Frederick III. The Kingdom of Denmark has been jointly ruled together with the Kingdom of Norway from 1380 until 1814.
