Ludwig von Mises addresses the theory of such a case in his book, Theory of Money and Credit:

The discussion is in Part Four Monetary Reconstruction, Chapter 3 The Return to Sound Money. Mises discusses both the large country case and the small country case in which a country unilaterally returns to the gold standard while other countries do not.
