Satchid, The standard reduction potential of gold is 1.52V Au ---> Au+++ or 1.83V ---> Au+. The only thing that stops this reaction occurring at near this voltage is electrode polarisation, which may be overcome in an acidic solution. Note that this method results in ionic gold and perhaps should not be taken.
