The counts of Valentinois always used the six bezants design from the very first known seal :

(from Roman, Joseph - Description des sceaux des familles seigneuriales de Dauphiné)

There are however a few variants : A couple of seals show ten bezants which could also be interpreted as a semis of bezants instead of six :

The lords of Chalançon used a bend as brisure (I'd say argent for the tincture but there's no way to be sure).
