What the Fathers say

Matthew 22:20

Western Saints

Jerome

And Jesus said to them, Whose image is this and superscription? Those who think that this question indicates ignorance on the part of the Savior, and not dispensation, let them learn from the present passage that Jesus could certainly know whose image was on the coin; but he asks in order to respond appropriately to their words.

Thomas Aquinas

Then he asks about the image: whose image and inscription is this? For in every public coin an inscription is placed on its form; so it was in this one.
