It depends on which country. I guess in UK it has six pearls; in Portugal a Baron coronet doesn't even have 'standing up' pearls, only a round 'pearled' shape coronet.
Mind you, the counting of the pearls is usualy that of the frontal view. Indeed being the crown/coronet a three dimension object, the actual number of pearls is higher. Apparently and for example, the coronet of a (Portuguese) count (Earl) is said to have nine balls, but the actual number is sixteen.
