A physicist's answer. Archimedes principle: It would displace either it's volume of Mercury (if the specific gravity (SG) of mercury is less than that of gold...which I think it is and there were enough mercury for the gold to completely submerge the gold, i.e it sinks to the bottom) OR it would displace it's weight of mercury (assuming the SG of mercury is greater than that of gold...which I doubt, again assuming sufficient mercury in the container, i.e. it floats).
Also, amalgamation of the gold and mercury will take place over time.
I'm not sure what voltaic phenomenon might occur.
