Abstract: Given a smooth plane curve $overlineC$ of genus $ggeq3$ over an algebraically closed field $overlinek$, a field $Lsubseteqoverlinek$ is said to be a emph{plane model-field of definition for $overlineC$} if $L$ is a field of definition for $overlineC$, i.e. $exists$ a smooth curve $C^{\prime }$ defined over $L$ where $C^{\prime }ime{s}_{L}overlinekcongoverlineC$, and such that $C^{\prime }$ is $L$-isomorphic to a non-singular plane model $F(X,Y,Z)=0$ in $mathbb{P}_L^2$. {In this short note, we construct a smooth plane curve $overlineC$ over $overlinemathbbQ$, such that the field of moduli of $overlineC$ is not a field of definition for $overlineC$, and also fields of definition do not coincide with plane model-fields of definition for $overlineC$.} As far as we know, this is the first example in the literature with the above property, since this phenomenon does not occur for hyperelliptic curves, replacing plane model-fields of definition with the so-called hyperelliptic model-fields of definition.
