Commentary
Cette médaille a été décernée au sénateur, Henri Lafleur (1902-1974) dont le père originaire de Lorraine est venu en Nouvelle-Calédonie comme commis de l'administration pénitentiaire. Après ses études, il se lance dans la prospection d'abord forestière puis minière, comme son frère aîné Maurice, et fait fortune, devenant propriétaire de concessions de nickel et chrome. Il est bientôt l'un des principaux exportateurs calédoniens de ces deux minéraux.
Il sera élu sénateur à partir de 1959, puis en 1965 et enfin en 1974, après avoir été conseiller général pour la première circonscription de la Nouvelle-Calédonie de 1947 à 1953 et membre de la commission de la France d’Outre-Mer au Conseil de la République.
